Enacts the "food delivery worker safety and fair algorithms act" to prohibit food delivery platforms from utilizing or deploying any algorithmic management system that requires or incentivizes delivery workers to complete deliveries within a fixed or rigid time window that cannot reasonably be met while complying with all applicable traffic laws and safety regulations; penalizes, deactivates, suspends, deprioritizes, or otherwise limits a delivery worker's access to work opportunities for failure to meet delivery time estimates that do not account for traffic patterns, traffic congestion, weather conditions, restaurant delays, or lawful compliance with traffic signals, signage, and rules of the road; directly or indirectly incentivizes speeding, unsafe operation of a vehicle or bicycle, or disregard of traffic control devices, signage, or pedestrian right-of-way; and reduces pay, tips, bonuses, or access to incentives based on a delivery worker's refusal or inability to engage in unsafe or unlawful conduct.

Plain-language summary

The Food Delivery Worker Safety and Fair Algorithms Act would prohibit food delivery platforms from using algorithmic management systems that require or incentivize deliveries within time windows that cannot be met while obeying traffic laws. It bars penalizing workers for failing to meet unrealistic time estimates or for refusing unsafe conduct, and prohibits incentivizing speeding or unsafe driving through pay or bonus structures.
