Vote Today! Should Recreational Boaters have a Right to Float in Colorado?
House Bill
1188 is sitting in the Colorado Senate waiting to be assigned to a Senate committee, we
expect that to happen next week.
While we are in little bit of a holding pattern in the processes of the State Senate - our battle
continues in the field.
A couple of Colorado media outlets came out opposed to HB 1188! But we can fight back and let our
opinions be heard too.
