PRICE Act

Sponsored By: Representative Goldman, Daniel S. [D-NY-10]

Introduced

Summary

Transparent, up-front delivery pricing would be required for third-party delivery platforms that sell and same-day deliver items from retail establishments. The bill would restrict how platforms set delivery fees and force clear displays of item prices, delivery charges, taxes, and a plain explanation of each delivery fee before payment.

Show full summary
  • Consumers: Would see the price a store charges for each item, any delivery fee for that item, and an ongoing total that includes item costs, taxes, and fees. Before paying, users would get a clear, conspicuous explanation of each delivery fee and whether it is refundable.
  • Third-party delivery platforms: Would have to adopt a fixed method for calculating delivery fees based only on the retail price (excluding taxes and platform fees) and delivery factors like distance. Platforms could not use user characteristics, inferred willingness to pay, prior purchase behavior, or merchant-platform deals to set fees and could be barred from operating if they fail to comply beginning 90 days after enactment.
  • Retail establishments: Would have their item prices shown by the platform excluding taxes, and platforms must not obscure or misrepresent delivery charges tied to those items.
  • Enforcement and states: Would make the Federal Trade Commission the primary enforcer and allow State Attorneys General parallel enforcement. The bill gives agencies broad remedies including civil actions, injunctions, damages, and restitution and provides for cooperation while preventing duplicative state suits when the FTC action is pending.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

FTC and State enforcement rules

If enacted, the bill would let the Federal Trade Commission use its unfair-or-deceptive-practice authority to enforce these rules and would require the FTC to write implementing regulations. State attorneys general could also sue on behalf of state residents to stop violations and seek damages or refunds, but they generally must notify the FTC first and the FTC could intervene. The bill would bar a State from filing a separate action while an FTC action for the same violation is pending and sets venue and service rules for these suits.

Delivery app price and fee rules

If enacted, the bill would require third-party delivery apps that charge delivery fees to pick a fixed fee method before you start ordering. The fee method would have to be based only on the retail establishment's price for the items (not taxes) and delivery factors like distance, and it could not use guesses about you or deals between the app and the store. When you pick an item, the app would have to show the establishment price (excluding taxes) and any delivery fee for that item. The app would have to show a running total (item costs, taxes, and fees) and, before you pay, clearly explain each delivery fee (amount, which item it relates to, and whether it is refundable). The bill would not stop apps from letting you add a tip. It would be unlawful to operate a platform that does not follow these rules starting 90 days after enactment.
