Today is the first day of 2023 and that means new laws in Colorado and an increase in the minimum wage
One requires most grocery, retail, and convenience stores in Colorado to charge 10 cents for every plastic or paper bag shoppers use.Starting Jan. 1, the fee will apply statewide.
“I don’t really think it’s that much,” said Vinnie Montoya. “I mean, you pay just as much in tax probably almost, so I really don’t care.” “I think the bag fee is actually a good thing,” said Yukman. “You see too many of them floating around next to the highways, next to the roads, so it’s a good thing to have reusable bags.”In addition, people who receive state or federal food assistance do not have to pay the bag fee.For employees who receive tips, wages will increase to $10.63 an hour.
“What employees can expect to see is a 0.45% deduction from their paychecks,” said Tracy Marshall, FAMILI division director.“I think this is going to be a real game changer in providing crucial benefits for all employees in this state,” said Emilie Aries, the CEO of Bossed Up.
