Bill > A06539

This bill, known as the RIDE (Responsibility in Delivery Enforcement) Act, establishes new regulations for third-party food delivery services regarding traffic fines and civil penalties incurred by their workers while making deliveries. Specifically, the bill requires these services to reimburse workers for any fines or civil penalties received while performing job duties, such as riding bicycles with or without electric assistance. Workers must notify their delivery service within 30 days of paying a fine, and the service must then reimburse the worker through their standard payment method within 30 days of being notified. If a worker is simultaneously working for multiple delivery services, those services will be jointly responsible for reimbursing fines. The bill also includes a provision that absolves a delivery service from reimbursement if they were not properly notified of the fine. The act will take effect 180 days after becoming law, giving businesses time to prepare for the new requirements.
