Your Voice has Power: Testimony on Ending Taxes on Overtime Pay at the Colorado Special Session

Earlier this year, as the Federal Government decided to stop taxing overtime, the Colorado Legislature passed HB25-1296 to continue taxing overtime wages in Colorado.

This egregious assault on Colorado workers led to HB25B-1020 Additions to Definition Federal Taxable Income being introduced during this year’s Special Session.

House Bill 1020 would have repealed taxes on overtime wages, providing Colorado workers with much-needed relief.

Natalie Menten and Brandon Wark were the only two individuals to testify in support of this bill during the August 21st Committee Hearing, speaking alongside two pro-taxation organizations that opposed the bill.

In this video, you can watch and listen to Natalie and Brandon’s testimony. I hope this encourages you to get involved with our State Legislature, and show up during the 2026 Regular Session.

Of course, HB25B-1020 was killed by the Democratic Majority, ensuring that Colorado workers will be taxed on their overtime wages.

The people of Colorado need to know what’s being done to them by the irresponsible and authoritarian State Legislature.
