Jackson lawmaker proposes tipping law changes
Posted 1/14/13
JACKSON, Wyo. — A state lawmaker from Jackson is proposing some changes to Wyoming's tipping laws.
One bill introduced by Rep. Ruth Ann Petroff would make all tips exempt from sales tax. Currently tips automatically added to a bill, usually for large groups, are subject to sales tax.
Another bill from the Republican would allow restaurants to pool tips from everyone waiting on tables and then split the money among its employees. However, an employee couldn't be forced to contribute more than 15 percent of their tips to a tip pool.
The Jackson Hole Daily (http://bit.ly/VZWthC ) reports that existing state law says that tips are the sole property of the employee who receives them.
