State Legislature

Monitoring the legislative process is integral to keeping a finger on the pulse of dynamic water policy in the state. On behalf of its diverse constituents in southwestern Colorado, the Southwestern Water Conservation District (SWCD) tracks state water bills closely.  SWCD works toward ensuring the views and priorities of southwestern Colorado are considered as new laws are enacted affecting our State’s water resources.

SWCD provides regular written summaries of water-related bills during the session, which are found below. These summaries are distributed via email as a service to interested stakeholders. If you would like to sign up for these regular email updates, please contact [email protected]. The SWCD Board of Directors also discusses proposed state legislation in biweekly special meetings. If you would like to get email notifications for these Zoom meetings, please contact [email protected]. We hope you find these services informative and beneficial.
