BILL NUMBER:S7860 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general business law, in relation to establishing fees for mobile food vendors; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon the expiration thereof PURPOSE: This bill will place an annual cap on the amount of fees a municipality can charge on mobile food trucks and mobile food truck vendors. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends section 391 of the general business law by adding a new section S that establishes that no municipality, other than a city with a population of one million or more, may charge a mobile food vendor an annual fee of more than two hundred fifty dollars per mobile vending vehicle. Section 1 also defines mobile food vendors as any person who hawks, peddles, sells, or offers food for sale at retail in any public space and such food items are presented to the public in a mobile vehicle, such as, but not limited to, a pushcart, car, van, or truck. Additionally, Section 1 excludes any person who is solely delivering food that has been previously ordered and purchased from an established retail location.
