The Colorado Chamber’s grassroots action alerts on job killing legislation has made a significant impact at the State Capitol! More than 600+ Coloradans signed our petition opposing job-killer legislation last month and our advocates have sent over 1,500 messages to key committee members against bills on the Chamber’s Job Killers list!
We need to continue this momentum so state legislators understand the importance of preserving jobs and our economic competitiveness. There are two more bills coming up next week in a critical committee that need your action:
- Senate Bill 165: This is yet another bill that would impose a ban on oil and gas activity – this time in the form of a “seasonal pause” from May 1 to September 30. The proposal also revives a previously-failed effort to mandate how Coloradans commute to work, requiring reduced use of personal vehicles.
- Senate Bill 166: This proposal would create complex and severe enforcement regulations on a broad range of businesses, from manufacturers to hospitals to hotels. This will force businesses to reduce operations, lay off workers, or shut down altogether.
Both of these bills are scheduled for a hearing on Wednesday, March 20th in the Senate Transportation and Energy Committee. Please use the action alert below to tell members of the committee to OPPOSE both of these bills!
