Governor Kathy Hochul highlighted that the new Restaurant Reservation Anti-Piracy Act aims to eliminate the black market for restaurant reservations, protecting consumers and businesses alike.
The legislation is a response to the growing trend of reservation scalping, where individuals exploit digital platforms to book multiple reservations and sell them at inflated prices.
This first-of-its-kind bill, passed in New York, seeks to ensure a fair dining experience by limiting transactions that undermine legitimate booking systems.
While the bill targets unauthorized reservation sales, it distinguishes itself by not affecting legitimate platforms that offer authorized trading, allowing for some market flexibility.
