IL HB3205

Third-party delivery services must obtain written consent from merchants before using their name, likeness, registered trademark, or intellectual property, or arranging pickup and delivery through a digital network.

Indemnity provisions in delivery service agreements entered into or renewed after the bill's effective date cannot require merchants to indemnify delivery services or their drivers for damages caused by the delivery service.

Merchants can sue in circuit court for violations of the consent requirement, recovering actual damages or $5,000 whichever is greater, with potential punitive damages and equitable relief at the court's discretion.

Defines key terms including "merchant" (restaurants, bars, and other retail entities), "third-party delivery service" (external companies providing delivery through digital networks), and "digital network" (online platforms or apps enabling product purchases for delivery).
