SJR 15: Protecting Colorado's National Public Lands

This Senate Joint Resolution expresses Colorado's legislative support for maintaining national public lands under federal stewardship and opposes efforts that would reduce public access or weaken environmental review laws. The resolution specifically targets potential erosion of bedrock federal laws like NEPA and FLPMA, which require public input and balanced resource management. It calls on state and federal officials to defend statutory safeguards that ensure public lands serve broad public benefits rather than narrow special interests. This non-binding resolution does not change any laws but serves as a formal statement of legislative intent and values regarding public land management.

SR 1: Morgan County Road Improvements

This Senate Resolution (SR 1) demands that the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) prioritize funding and implement road improvement projects for state highways in Morgan County.
