Park pass bill heads to full Senate after debate over opt-out provision

A bill that would offer discounted state park passes to motorists obtaining or renewing their vehicle registration was cleared by the state Senate Appropriations Committee by a 5-2 vote Friday after debate over whether it should be an opt-in rather than opt-out program. Senate Bill 249 would create the Keep Colorado Wild annual pass, which would have to be sold for no more than half the cost of an annual vehicle pass, now $80, for access to Colorado Parks and Wildlifeâs 42 state parks. The bill is supported by CPW and Department of Natural Resources, whose officials hope it would boost park pass sales so much that the passes could be sold for as little as $20 while still sharply boosting funding for state parks and helping fund other things such as search-and-rescue and avalanche programs, trails and wildlife conservation.

Senate panel advances pre-emption gun bill; Lauren Boebert among those testifying against

The third of three bills intended to address gun violence in Colorado cleared a state Senate panel on Tuesday, with emotional testimony from gun control advocates and, for the first time, opposition testimony from U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Silt. Senate Bill 256 would repeal a 2003 law that bars local governments from enacting stricter gun control laws than the state standard. Known as pre-emption, sponsors noted that there is a precedent for the law, one enacted in 2003 that allowed concealed carry weapons in certain public places, including college campuses, even in communities where concealed carry isn’t legal. SB 256 specifically allows local governments to enact laws to ban concealed carry weapons in their jurisdictions, and that’s what drew dozens of witnesses to testify against the bill, more than those who testified against two previous gun control bills passed in House committees last week.
