2017 Colorado Legislative Conservation Scorecard

Tampering with Oil and Gas Equipment

No is the pro-environment vote.
Description:

It is currently a misdemeanor to knowingly tamper with or vandalize equipment used for oil and gas activity such as pipelines, fences, and well pads. In Colorado, these crimes rarely occur. Yet this bill would have created a new felony with punishments up to 18 months in prison and a $100,000 fine for tampering with oil and gas equipment. Several proper legal channels to address these actions already exist, so this bill was unnecessary.

Bill Sponsors: Senator Jerry Sonnenberg, Representative Jon Becker

House: Failed in State Affairs Committee | Senate Vote: Passed 19-16
