We are disappointed to report that House Bill 11-1034 to establish the 'Protect Our Rivers' license plate was defeated in the House Agricultural Committee. There were a variety of factors in play, but the bottom line was that several of the committee members did not want to see CTU become better funded.
At this point, we are considering options to modify the bill and bring it back at a later time, but it will not be in the 2010 legislative session.
We would like to thank you for supporting CTU and the license plate bill by signing the petition.  

Sincerely,  The Colorado Trout Unlimited Team
