SB 17-073

Senate Bill 17-073 aims to encourage cooperation among various stakeholders, including government agencies and local districts, to develop and maintain the Runyon-Fountain Lakes State Wildlife Area in Colorado. The bill requires these groups to work together on a long-term plan for the area's improvement and report their progress to the state legislature by March 1, 2018. Since it has been signed into law, this means that the stakeholders are now legally obligated to follow through with the cooperative process outlined in the bill.
