Colorado HB 1285, signed by the Governor on June 1, 2023, amends the statewide carry out bag fee. Previously, the law required a retailer to remit a portion of the fee to the local government in which the store is located on a quarterly basis starting April 1, 2024. The amended legislation allows greater flexibility so a retailer may use the remitted portion of the fee to purchase reusable bags, if a local government has not established a process to accept remitted fees. The new law also removes the April 1, 2024 remittance start date.
