Colorado Wildlife Federation On June 24, the Senate Parliamentarian ruled that the sale of federally managed public lands (BLM and USFS) provisions may not be included in the budget bill. We are watchful in case Utah’s Senator Lee makes another attempt to insert such provisions.

Colorado’s Representatives Hurd and Neguse issued a joint statement touting the removal of the provisions that would have enabled sale of public lands. Stay tuned.
