Requiring the commissioner of consumer and worker protection to promulgate rules regarding rest areas for food delivery workers.
Status: Committee Committee on Consumer and Worker Protection
Sponsored by Harvey D. Epstein
Introduced: November 12, 2026

This bill would require the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) to promulgate rules requiring third-party food delivery services to provide rest areas for food delivery workers. The rest areas would include access to bathrooms, places to rest, e-bike charging stations, and storage for bikes. A third-party food delivery service would be required to provide every food delivery worker access to all rest areas, regardless of which third-party food delivery service has retained such delivery worker. In promulgating the rules, DCWP would be required to address the number of rest areas that a third-party food delivery service must provide and the geographic areas where rest areas may be located.
