CONCERNING THE PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST IN THE MANAGEMENT OF COLORADO'S NATIONAL PUBLIC LANDS.

AI Summary

This joint resolution expresses Colorado's strong support for the protection and continued federal stewardship of its national public lands, emphasizing their immense value for recreation, the economy, wildlife, and quality of life. It opposes any actions, whether through legislation or administrative changes, that reduce public participation, access, or legal recourse in the management of these lands, specifically citing concerns about undermining foundational laws like the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), which requires environmental impact assessments, and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), which governs federal land management. The resolution urges Colorado's elected officials, including its congressional delegation, governor, and attorney general, to actively defend the public process and legal safeguards that ensure these lands are managed for the benefit of all citizens, rather than for narrow special interests.
