CO SB160

Clarifies that Colorado possesses jurisdictional rights to exercise state police powers on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and United States Forest Service (USFS) lands when those lands are held only as "proprietorial interest" by the federal government.

Establishes that the state and its political subdivisions may respond to and take action on federal lands when conditions adversely affect or pose clear and imminent danger to life, public health, and safety of Colorado residents.

Defines "jurisdictional right" as the ability of the state or political subdivision to exercise lawful police powers over a given land area, with exception that federal activities take precedence in cases of conflict.

Clarifies that at least 97% of federal lands in Colorado (nearly all USFS and BLM lands) are held in proprietorial capacity only and therefore fall under state jurisdiction for public safety purposes.

Effective July 1, 2016, with intent to facilitate cooperative planning and response to wildfire threats and emergencies on federal lands within Colorado.
