Show full summary
- Consumers: Platforms would have to show the retail price (excluding taxes) and any delivery fees when an item is selected and keep an ongoing total visible during ordering. Before payment the platform must explain each delivery fee, its amount, the item it applies to, and whether it is refundable.
- Retail establishments: Platforms could not set delivery fees using negotiated deals with a store. The fee method must be based on the store's price and delivery factors like distance, not on the store's private arrangements.
- Third-party delivery platforms: Fees must be fixed once a user begins an order and calculated only from the retail price (excluding taxes and platform fees) plus delivery factors. Platforms may not use user traits or inferred willingness to pay to set fees.
- Enforcement: The Federal Trade Commission could enforce violations as unfair or deceptive acts and write regulations. State attorneys general could bring civil actions for residents and the FTC may intervene.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
FTC and state enforcement powers
If enacted, the bill would let the Federal Trade Commission enforce these rules as unfair or deceptive acts. The FTC would have the same powers it has under existing law and could write rules under federal rulemaking law. State attorneys general could sue to stop violations, get refunds or restitution, and seek other relief, but they would generally need to notify the FTC before filing. The FTC could intervene in state suits and could bar separate state suits while it has a federal case.
Who the delivery rules cover
If enacted, this bill would define key delivery terms when it takes effect. "Commission" would mean the Federal Trade Commission. "Delivery fee" would mean any fee a third-party delivery platform charges a user on top of the retail price. "Retail establishment" would mean a physical place that sells items, including restaurants. A "third-party delivery platform" would mean an app, website, or online service whose main job is offering or arranging same‑day sale and delivery and that is not owned by the store.
New delivery price display rules
If enacted, starting 90 days after enactment, platforms that charge delivery fees would have to use a fee method set no later than when you pick the store. The method could only use the store's item total (excluding taxes and platform fees) and delivery factors like distance. Platforms could not base fees on your past orders, willingness to pay, or deals with the store. When you pick an item, the platform would have to show the item's price (excluding taxes) and any delivery fees. The platform would show a running total while you order and, before payment, explain each delivery fee and whether it is refundable. Platforms could still let you add a tip.
