This bill establishes new regulations for food delivery services, specifically requiring them to enter into an agreement with food service establishments or retail food stores before offering delivery services. The bill repeals and reenacts RSA 359-S, creating a new chapter that defines a "food delivery platform" as an online intermediary that facilitates food orders and deliveries. It mandates that these platforms cannot take or arrange deliveries from food establishments without explicit authorization through a formal agreement.
Additionally, the bill imposes penalties for non-compliance, stating that any food delivery platform that fails to secure the necessary agreement will be subject to a violation and fined $100 for each unauthorized delivery. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 15, 2025, upon its passage.
