This bill establishes a prohibition against unauthorized arrangements by third-party restaurant reservation services to advertise, list, promote, or sell reservations for food service establishments without a written agreement with the establishment. It defines a food service establishment as any place providing food for individual portion service, whether for free or for sale, and includes various forms of service delivery. The bill also clarifies that a third-party restaurant reservation service is any internet-based platform that facilitates reservations for a food service establishment but is not owned by the establishment itself.

Violations of this act will result in civil penalties of up to $500 for each infraction, with penalties accruing daily for each establishment involved. Additionally, individuals charged fees by a third-party service in violation of this act may pursue civil action in the Superior Court for injunctive relief, actual damages, attorney's fees, and other appropriate remedies. The bill stipulates that any legal action must be initiated within one year of the alleged violation. This legislation is similar to existing laws in Illinois aimed at protecting food service establishments from unauthorized reservation practices.
