BAG FEE

Distribution: General Fund 100%

Source: Visitors and residents in Parker

Collection: In 2021, the Colorado General Assembly enacted House Bill 21-1162. This bill prohibits stores and retail food establishments from providing single-use plastic bags beginning January 1, 2024. In 2023, impacted establishments may provide single-use plastic or recycled paper bags, provided that they charge a fee of at least 10 cents per bag and remit 60% of the fee to the municipality in which they reside.

• It is expected that retailers will continue to provide one-time use plastic bags until prohibited by law in 2024. The 2023 adopted budget is the estimated revenue from Parker’s portion of the bag fee collected by retailers within the Town limits.

• Bag fee revenue is not expected to continue after 2023 when one-time use plastic bags are no longer permitted outside of limited exceptions.
