What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Advocates urged the City Council and state legislators to pass bills, including the Clean Deliveries Act and Intro 53, aimed at increasing accountability for large corporations such as Amazon and FedEx. The Clean Deliveries Act has passed the state Senate but still requires approval from the Assembly and the governor. The proposed Delivery Protection Act would establish a licensing system that would fundamentally change small businesses that currently make up the last-mile network.
