The sponsor's argument

Why Jessica Ramos says this is needed

Third-party food delivery services have made gratuity payment more difficult in response to recent New York City minimum wage refoinis. While it is illegal for third-party food delivery services to block payment of gratuities to workers, some have altered their platforms' gratuity payment procedures so as to occur after the order has been assigned to a delivery worker. This drastically undercuts both the total amount of gratuities paid and the workers' agency in choosing the most lucrative recent orders in the local area.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
