ACTION ALERT: Colorado Senate to vote on HB-1161

Senator Wiens expected to offer amendment to weaken bill; emails and phone calls needed

Posted April 27, 2008, Updated April 29, 2008

 

 

The full Colorado Senate is expected to hear House Bill 1161 on Tuesday, April 29 Wednesday, April 30.  This will be the bill's second reading, which consists of debate, possible amendments, and a voice vote.  If HB-1161 passes second reading, it will go on to third reading and a recorded vote of the full Senate. 

 

According to reliable sources, Douglas County Senator Tom Wiens is expected to offer an amendment which would weaken the ground water protection provisions of HB-1161.  An analysis of the amendment and how it would weaken HB-1161 is here.

 

Please contact your Senator and urge him or her to oppose the Wiens amendment and support the current version of HB-1161 which would establish sensible ground water quality standards for in-situ leach uranium mining.
