Requires delivery apps to clearly show all fees and how they're calculated.
Rep. Goldman (D-NY), along with 3 co-sponsors.
Introduced in the House, referred to committee.
This bill, called the PRICE Act, aims to make delivery app pricing more transparent. It would require platforms to clearly display all fees and explain how they are calculated, prohibiting personalized or hidden charges. The bill was introduced by Representative Dan Goldman, a Democrat from New York, and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, where it awaits review and potential changes before any further action.
Introduced Apr 27, 2026
This bill is currently in the 'Introduced' stage in the House of Representatives. It has been referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. For the bill to become law, it must first be approved by this committee, then pass a vote in the full House. After that, it would move to the Senate for their approval and finally to the President for signature.
If this bill becomes law, when you use a delivery app, you would see the delivery fee calculation method as soon as you select a restaurant, and the fee itself wouldn't change while you're adding items. The bill would prevent apps from charging you different delivery fees based on things like your inferred wealth or past purchases. You would also see a running total of your order, including all fees and taxes, before you finalize your purchase.
Supporters Say
Supporters would argue this bill protects consumers from hidden and unfair pricing practices by delivery platforms, promoting transparency.
Critics Say
Critics might argue these new rules could make delivery apps less flexible in their pricing models, potentially affecting service availability.
Those in favor would highlight how the bill ensures consumers know exactly what they're paying for and why, preventing deceptive 'junk fees.' They believe it fosters a fairer marketplace. On the other hand, opponents might express concerns that restricting how delivery fees are calculated could limit the platforms' ability to optimize delivery routes and pricing, potentially increasing costs for platforms, restaurants, or even users in the long run.
