Retail Delivery Fee Hearing
Yesterday, the House Transportation Committee started the hearing process on HF580, which would establish a $0.75 delivery fee on all deliveries of tangible personal property in Minnesota, including restaurant deliveries. Hospitality Minnesota has partnered with the Minnesota Retailers Association to lead a coalition in opposition to the bill. There were many testifiers, including two Hospitality Minnesota members: JJ Haywood of Pizza Luce and Rob Williams of Davanni’s. Their testimony was included in KSTP coverage, which you can watch below.
During the Thursday hearing, they only took testimony and will reconvene today (Friday) at 10:30AM for member discussion. The intention is to lay the bill over for potential inclusion in the omnibus bill. Additionally, Chair Hornstein indicated they are looking at a small business exemption. More to come next week.
