Assembly Bill No. 2149
CHAPTER 125

An act to add Chapter 22.4 (commencing with Section 22598) to
Division 8 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to
business.

 [ Approved by Governor  September 24, 2020. Filed with Secretary of
                    State  September 24, 2020. ]


                    LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 2149, Gonzalez. Food delivery platforms.
The California Retail Food Code (code) generally requires various
businesses that prepare or otherwise provide food to the public to
comply with uniform health and sanitation standards. The code defines
"food facility" for its purposes as an operation that stores,
prepares, packages, serves, vends, or otherwise provides food for
human consumption at the retail level.
This bill would enact the Fair Food Delivery Act of 2020, to prohibit
a food delivery platform from arranging for the delivery of an order
from a food facility without first obtaining an agreement with the
food facility expressly authorizing the food delivery platform to
take orders and deliver meals prepared by the food facility. The bill
would define a "food delivery platform" as an online business that
acts as an intermediary between consumers and multiple food
facilities to submit food orders from a consumer to a participating
food facility, and to arrange for the delivery of the order from the
food facility to the consumer.
