The PRICE Act requires third-party delivery platforms like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub to follow strict pricing transparency rules. Starting 90 days after enactment, these platforms must calculate delivery fees based only on the order total and delivery-related factors like distance, and cannot use customer data like price sensitivity or purchasing history to determine fees. The bill requires platforms to clearly display the restaurant's price for each item, applicable delivery fees, and a running total throughout the ordering process, along with a clear explanation of all fees before payment. The Federal Trade Commission will enforce the law with the same authority it uses for other consumer protection violations, and state attorneys general can also bring civil lawsuits on behalf of residents to stop violations and recover damages. The legislation aims to prevent hidden fees and unfair pricing practices that consumers encounter when ordering food and goods through delivery apps.
