Supporting Colorado Parks and Wildlife

Description: Colorado has a long history of leadership in natural resource management and outdoor recreation thanks in large part to agencies like Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW). But without adequate authorities, regulations that protect our lands and wildlife are hard to enforce. For CPW it has been at least 15 years — and in some cases, decades — since many of the agency’s fines have been adjusted. This bill updates CPW’s fine structure to discourage illegal activity, ensuring responsible recreation and ecosystem health for all Coloradans.
