SB 22-166
signedNongame Conservation Check-off Extension
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedSenate Bill 22-166, also known as the Nongame Conservation Check-off Extension, is a law that allows Colorado residents to continue making voluntary donations to support wildlife conservation efforts beyond its original expiration date. This donation option was available on state income tax returns from 2017 to 2022 and would have ended in January 2023; the bill ensures it stays available indefinitely. The signed status means that the law is now active, allowing taxpayers to continue contributing to wildlife conservation through their taxes if they choose to do so.
