In the continuing trend of the last several years, this was the busiest year ever. This year we provided formal written comments on OHV issues basically weekly. There were over 500 bills introduced in the 2022 Session of the Colorado General Assembly of which 11 were of serious concern to the OHV/snowmobile and 4wd recreationists. This confirms the need for professional staff monitoring issues on an ongoing basis.
