Legislative Priorities for 2023
Fighting For:
- Maintaining the tip credit
- Significant State Liquor Authority reform to make running your business easier
- Exempting commercial kitchens from natural gas bans
- More state funding for training programs to help replenish the workforce
- Changes to the State’s unemployment insurance program to ensure the fund isn’t built off the backs of small businesses
- Easy and accessible permanent outdoor dining in New York City and around the State
- Maintaining strong third party delivery fee caps in New York City
- Continuing to advocate for education-based enforcement of all regulations instead of monetary fines
Fighting Against:
- Significant raises to costs for our industry that is still recovering from the pandemic
- Onerous and superfluous environmental regulations that make operating a profitable business more difficult
- Harmful predictive scheduling legislation that simply does not work in an industry like ours
- Economy-wide “just cause” legislation that would unfairly dictate who employers could let go
