A bill is being discussed in the Legislative Assembly of São Paulo that should affect the operation of delivery applications in the state if approved. If the proposal goes forward, delivery people will need to use a label equipped with a security chip and a QR code on their backpacks or trunks, which must be placed on the back, in a visible place.
Companies will be responsible for supplying this label, which will also need to keep a record of these workers and their vehicles, whether motorcycles, bicycles, or scooters, with details such as color, model, license plate and chassis, if any. This sticker must contain details of the delivery person, such as full name, validity of registration, identification number and company logo.
Associations representing the main delivery applications say the project creates bureaucracy and is an analogue solution. The work intermediated by apps has been the target of several attempts at regulation.
The Lula government has already defined that the matter will be put on the agenda. The new government wants to discuss a model that gives more security to delivery people, who would today be mostly informal.
In São Paulo, the activity became a matter of public security after a series of cases of robberies committed by criminals who pretended to be app delivery people.
