SB 25-049

Senate Bill 25-049 extends the Colorado Wildlife Habitat Stamp Program indefinitely, which requires hunters and fishermen in Colorado to buy a wildlife habitat stamp along with their licenses. The money from these stamps is used by the Department of Natural Resources to protect and improve wildlife habitats across the state. Currently signed into law, this means that the program will continue beyond its scheduled end date of July 1, 2027, without needing to undergo further review or renewal.

Official Summary

Individuals applying for hunting or fishing licenses in Colorado must also purchase a Colorado wildlife habitat stamp. The division of parks and wildlife in the department of natural resources uses the money collected from the Colorado wildlife habitat stamp for the benefit of wildlife habitat or access to wildlife habitat in the state. The Colorado wildlife habitat stamp program (program) is scheduled to repeal, subject to a sunset review by the department of regulatory agencies, on July 1, 2027. The act continues the program indefinitely. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
