In a letter explaining the decision, he said he worried about workers giving preferential treatment to patrons who tip
Still, Polis vetoed the bill Tuesday, part of a suite of three rejections. . He also expressed concern about what he described as the “arbitrary and incomplete nature” of a list of employees who would still not be allowed to accept tips, like health care workers.
“Above all, this is not an appropriate area for state regulation,” he wrote in a letter to Valdez and the bill’s other primary sponsor, Democratic Sen. Robert Rodriguez. “Some employers use innovative business models or choose for other business reasons to disallow tipping of their employees to reduce corruption, encourage equal treatment of patrons, or foster a more professional environment.”
Nina DiSalvo, the policy director for the nonprofit law firm Towards Justice, said she wasn’t displeased that the bill had been vetoed. It risked further entrenching tipping culture and creating confusion for businesses with no-tip policies, she said. Valdez did not return requests for comment Wednesday. Rodriguez said the veto “hurt” and that the governor’s concerns were related to stifling businesses and the risk of preferential treatment given to tipping patrons. He said tipping generally was an area worthy of further exploration — a late attempt to add a broader study into the bill failed — but he wasn’t sure if he would be involved in working on a similar bill next year.
