AR 121 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges restaurants to include warnings against use of mobile ordering features while driving.

This Assembly Resolution (AR 121) urges New Jersey restaurants that offer mobile ordering to add pop-up warnings cautioning customers against placing orders while driving. It does not create new law but asks restaurants to implement safety features like these warnings during the mobile ordering process. The resolution cites distracted driving as a leading cause of traffic fatalities, noting 42 New Jersey interstate deaths in 2021 were linked to driver inattention, with cell phone use being the most common distraction. It specifically targets mobile ordering features used while operating a vehicle, aligning with existing state law prohibiting handheld device use while driving. The resolution was introduced by Assemblywoman Tennille McCoy (District 14) and directed to the New Jersey Restaurant and Hospitality Association.
