Call your State Senators and Representatives today at 1-800-811-7647 and urge them to stop the $260 million raid on your fish and wildlife license dollars!

Recently introduced by Reps. Becker, Sonnenberg, and Sen. Jahn, in the latest Colorado Legislative Session, House Bill 1150 would gut funding for the Colorado Division of Wildlife and is this year’s most serious attack on Colorado’s fish and wildlife and the state’s hunters and anglers.

House Bill 1150 will take your hunting and fishing license dollars away from the intended purpose – fish and wildlife management and conservation. INSTEAD, these fund will be transferred from your pocket and the Colorado Division of Wildlife to the Colorado Water Conservation Board to develop water storage projects.

UPDATE:

In response to overwhelming pressure from sportsmen across Colorado, Representative Jon Becker officially withdrew HB 1150, a bill that would have raided $50 million from hunting and fishing license fees and resulted in a net loss of over $260 million for fish and wildlife conservation in Colorado.

We would like to thank Mike King, Executive Director of the Department of Natural Resources, and Representative Becker for listening to the concerns of hunters and anglers, and shifting gears to pursue a collaborative solution that will encourage projects to promote water resources for fish and wildlife in cooperation with Colorado farmers and ranchers.

Please call Representative Becker to thank him for listening to the voices and concerns of sportsmen, at 303-866-2906 or email him at jon.becker.house@state.co.us
