SEATTLE -- When the New Year arrives, so will some new laws.

In Seattle, Styrofoam food containers will be banned.

And there will be changes to the industrial insurance for geoduck harvesters.

In King County, what’s in fast food will no longer be a mystery, thanks to a new law that takes effect at midnight tonight.

The law requires that chains with more than 15 restaurants post calorie, carbohydrate, saturated fat and sodium information on menus or menu boards.

The information, by law, must be clear to consumers before they order.

However, fast food drive-through menus have until summer to comply.

King County hopes the increased nutrition labeling will allow customers to make more informed food choices.

Keeping repeat drunk drivers off our roads is the reason for a new state law that also takes effect at midnight.

The new Interlock Law allows drivers faced with losing their licenses because of DUI charges or convictions to get their driving privileges restored, as long as they pay to have an alcohol interlock device installed on their vehicle.

The device won't allow a car to start if it detects the presence of alcohol on the driver's breath.

For years, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has said these devices could save thousands of lives.

Those who've lost loved-ones to drunk drivers, like Glynn Birch of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, are hopeful.

"The driver that killed my son had three prior convictions. (The driver) had a blood alcohol of .26 and was driving on a revoked license. The ignition interlock will work. If we had it when Courtney was killed, maybe he would be here today," said Birch.

In Tacoma, the New Year brings new, higher rates for some utilities.

The average city customer will pay nearly $5 more per month for solid waste, and some water services.
