ACTION CENTER:
3/22/25 UPDATE
SB25-003
Through multiple amendments made at each stop, bill sponsors have magically tucked all spending into Colorado Parks & Wildlife’s “Parks & Recreation Cash Fund” – a fund meant to preserve and maintain our state parks.
On paper, this makes the bill appear to have no state appropriation and it would not be subject to TABOR. In reality, this is going to be a funding and implementation disaster and puts CPW’s federal Pittman-Robertson grant money at risk.
Timeline of SB25-003:
1/8: Introduced as blanket gun ban – banning all rifles, shotguns and gas-operated pistols that accept detachable magazines.
1/28: Passed Senate State Affairs Committee with $0 fiscal note.
2/14: Passed Senate 2nd reading/vote where it morphed into a license to buy scheme; fiscal note added.
2/18: Passed Full Senate Chamber on 3rd reading/vote.
3/11: Passed House Judiciary Committee; multiple CPW funding amendments were added.
3/14: Passed House Finance Committee; more CPW funding amendments were added.
3/18: Passed House Appropriations
3/21: Passed House 2nd reading/vote – Amended to push enactment date back to Aug 1, 2026 (originally Sept 1, 2025)
3/24: House Final Vote Scheduled
The bill still needs to pass the full State House Chamber on 3rd reading and final vote. It will then need to return to the State Senate for concurrence of House amendments before it would head to Governor Polis’ desk.
