Great news! Today, Governor Hochul signed the bill into law that passed the state legislature earlier this year prohibiting the sale of a restaurant reservation without written permission by said restaurant. This is a law that we advocated for! Restaurant reservation scalping deprives businesses and workers of needed money when the seats don’t sell and the table goes empty, and it creates a barrier between them and their customers when unknown guests show up. Big thanks to Assemblymember Alex Bores and Senator Nathalia Fernandez for passing their legislation, and thank you Governor Hochul for signing it into law to help stop reservation scalping. https://buff.ly/4glIIs1

"Given these existing requirements, it is unclear how the introduction of another mandate—one that is like current regulations—will meaningfully enhance street safety. What is certain, however, is that it will impose additional financial and administrative burdens on small businesses, requiring them to file more paperwork and pay fees to register their e-bikes." - @AndrewRigie

We continue to fight alongside a coalition of restaurateurs, tipped workers, and advocates to save the tip credit. Check out Reason's documentary about the importance of the restaurant industry tip credit. The documentary features a diverse group of tipped workers and restaurant and bar owners who share their perspectives, and debunks false claims and misinformation often used by activists in their lobbying efforts to eliminate the tip credit.
