The proposed bill, titled the "Restaurant Reservation Anti-Piracy Act," aims to regulate third-party reservation platforms that facilitate bookings at public food service establishments. It defines a "third-party reservation platform" as any website or application that offers reservations for on-premises service at a food establishment without a contractual relationship with the establishment. The bill explicitly prohibits these platforms from listing, advertising, promoting, or selling reservations for public food service establishments, with a specific exception for personal, non-transferable reservations made by individual customers through a designated representative.

Additionally, the bill grants the Division of Hotels and Restaurants the authority to impose civil penalties of up to $1,000 for each violation of this act or related division rules, with penalties accruing daily for each violation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
