The proposed legislation, titled the "Restaurant Reservation Anti-Piracy Act," establishes new regulations regarding third-party reservation platforms in Florida. It defines a third-party reservation platform as any website, mobile application, or internet service that facilitates reservations at public food service establishments but is not owned or operated by the establishment itself and lacks a contractual relationship with it. Notably, the act clarifies that certain contractual designees acting on behalf of individual customers are exempt from this definition, provided they do not charge the customer and comply with specific requirements, such as sharing customer contact information with the establishment.

Under this act, third-party reservation platforms are explicitly prohibited from listing, advertising, or facilitating reservations at public food service establishments. The Division of Hotels and Restaurants is granted the authority to impose civil penalties of up to $1,000 for each violation, with penalties accruing daily for each infraction. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
