PRICE Act
Rep. Goldman Introduces PRICE Act to Ban Hidden Fees and Personalized Pricing on Delivery Apps
The PRICE Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for review. No further actions are scheduled at this time, and the bill is considered active.
Legislative Progress
While fighting junk fees is popular, this bill faces strong opposition from the tech industry and lacks the bipartisan support needed to pass quickly.
Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Delivery drivers who work for platforms like DoorDash and Uber Eats could see indirect effects. If stricter fee transparency leads platforms to restructure their pricing, it could affect how much revenue is available for driver pay. On the other hand, the bill explicitly protects gratuities, ensuring apps can still let customers tip. The net impact on driver earnings is uncertain and would depend on how platforms adjust.
“Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent a third-party delivery platform from allowing a user to add a gratuity to their order.”
