Bring It to the Floor! Let the Legislature Know You Support SB1167, Funding Land Preservation & Restoration

This bill has been stuck in the Senate Republican Caucus for many weeks as senators contemplate the prospect of Senator Ron Gould filibustering the bill.  The more time drags on, the less likely the bill is to make it to the floor and pass.  It would be a shame to see the bill die after all of the work and extreme effort it took to get people on the same page and to get the needed improvements for land protection.  SB1167 provides funding for law enforcement and mitigation and restoration of areas damaged by off-road vehicles, plus includes limitations on where new trails can be built with the grant dollars.  It is a step in the right direction to help better protect important public and private lands from irresponsible off-road vehicle activities.  It also includes safety provisions. - Sierra Club AZ

Please take the time to send a polite email or make a phone call encouraging Senator Huppenthal to allow this bill out of the Republican Caucus so it can make its way to the floor for a vote.  You can reach him Senator Huppenthal by email (jhuppenthal@azleg.gov) or by calling (602) 926-5261.
