03:59 PM -- HB 15-1225

Senator Roberts and Senator Donovan, co-prime sponsors, described the provisions of House Bill 15-1225 concerning federal land coordination. The reengrossed bill requires certain officers and agencies of the executive branch in Colorado to provide technical and financial support to local governments that are affected by federal land management. The Governor is required to provide technical support to local governments in cooperation with the executive directors of the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Commissioner of the Department of Agriculture (CDA). This technical support includes sharing information with federal land managers, developing local land use plans, hiring consultants, and entering into memoranda of understanding (MOU) or other cooperation with federal agencies. The Governor is also authorized, but not required, to establish an advisory committee that provides technical assistance related to specific federal land management decision-making processes. The bill authorizes the use of the Local Government Mineral Impact Fund and the Local Government Severance Tax Fund (funds) for planning, analysis, public engagement, collaboration with federal land managers, and other local government activity related to federal land management.
