CO HJR1022

Colorado opposes President Biden's Executive Order 14008 Section 216, commonly known as the "30 by 30" program, which aims to conserve and preserve at least 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030

Colorado objects to federal designations of public lands and national forests as wilderness, wildlife preserves, or other conservation areas that restrict public access and prevent productive resource use including mining, timber, energy, and agriculture

Colorado supports continued multiple-use and sustained-yield management of public lands and national forests and opposes road closures and restrictions on public access implemented to meet the 30 by 30 program's goals

Colorado recognizes and supports its water rights system under the prior appropriation doctrine and opposes federal water designations that would impair or restrict water diversions and uses authorized by Colorado law

Colorado contends that federal land designations constitute potential unconstitutional takings under the Fifth Amendment and should be subject to constitutional protections against improper government takings
