These new laws and taxes take effect in Washington state on Jan. 1
Tax hikes on big business and rental cars. Unemployment benefits for workers on strike.
Those are just a few of the changes to state law taking effect in Washington on New Year’s Day.
Some bills passed in 2025 became law earlier in the year, while others will take years to go into effect. The next legislative session, lasting 60 days, begins Jan. 12.
Here’s a look at some of the new laws on the books starting Thursday.
