Morgan McKay is reporting for State of Politics the state Senate this week approved legislation almost unanimously that would put a 15 percent cap on delivery fees and a 5 percent cap on marketing charges levied by third-party food delivery companies, such as Grubhub, DoorDash and Uber Eats.

Melissa Fleischut, president of the New York State Restaurant Association, says the next step is to get the measure through the state Assembly.
