MINOR
This bill was amended to expand its scope from only food delivery services to also include third-party grocery delivery services. The changes ensure that workers in both sectors receive the same protections regarding mandatory gratuity options and compensation.
Scope change
The bill's applicability was broadened to cover third-party grocery delivery services in addition to third-party food delivery services.
SCOPE
The bill title and operative text were updated to explicitly include 'third-party grocery delivery services' alongside food delivery services.
DEFINITION
A new definition for 'third-party grocery delivery service' was added, and the definition for 'worker' was updated to include tasks specific to grocery delivery (selecting, preparing, or assembling orders).
REQUIREMENT
Requirements for offering gratuity options and prohibitions against reducing worker compensation were updated to apply to both food and grocery delivery services.
