SB 18-226

Senate Bill 18-226, now signed into law, stops the governor from participating in any state-level climate initiatives aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions or promoting the goals of the Paris Agreement. This means Colorado will not engage with other states to collaborate on climate change mitigation efforts. The bill affects how Colorado approaches and participates in national and international climate policies, limiting its ability to work with other states on environmental issues. Since it has been signed, this law is now active and restricts the governor's involvement in such collaborations.
