A new year means new laws, and Vermont has a slew of new regulations that will affect your wallet. Fees for Vermont DMV services went up about 19% across the board starting on New Year’s Day. It will now cost you an extra $10-$15 to do things like register your car or renew your license. Some of Vermont’s lowest-paid workers got a raise. The state’s minimum wage increased by 49 cents from $13.18 to $13.67 per hour. There was also a boost to the state’s minimum tipped wage. That rose from $6.28 to $6.84 an hour.
