Last Thursday, Rep. Lauren Boebert’s HR4595 (known as the “Fish Bill”) received a hearing in the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife, and Fisheries. The bill will continue protecting four species of fish in the Colorado River Basin as well as assisting over 1,200 water projects in continuing administration of their efforts.

The bill has a broad, bipartisan coalition of support from environmental groups, tribal nations, and water users who will be protected by the expansion of this program. You can read in-depth about the bill here in an article from The Journal.

Key takeaways:

-Rep. Lauren Boebert’s HR4595 is designed to address a key local issue with a common-sense solution that has broad, bipartisan support.

 

-Rep. Boebert continues to focus on water as a major legislative priority for the 3rd District, with this bill protecting over 1,200 water projects in Colorado and continuing to provide a consistent water source to cities and communities in the district.

 

-HR4595 is just the latest example of Rep. Boebert sponsoring a bill focused on a 3rd District issue and thoughtfully moving it through the legislative process.
