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.
