A bipartisan group of lawmakers wants a pause in wolf introductions. They’ll be introducing Senate Bill 25B-0010 asking that, during this week’s Special Session of the Colorado Legislature.
The main reason is the state’s budget. Lawmakers this week have to cut nearly $1 billion from the budget.
This bill being proposed would reallocate funding from the wolf introduction, which is already more than four times over budget this year. Proposition 114 was supposed to cost $800,000 a year. This past fiscal year, the wolf reintroduction project cost the state nearly $3.5 million dollars in conflict management and depredation reimbursement.
The bipartisan primary sponsors of the bill are Senators Dylan Roberts (D-Frisco) and Marc Catlin (R-Montrose), and Representatives Meghan Lukens (D-Steamboat Springs) and Matthew Martinez (D-Monte Vista).
But the bill lists more:
- SENATE SPONSORSHIP Roberts and Catlin, Daugherty, Hinrichsen, Marchman, Mullica, Pelton B., Pelton R., Rich, Simpson, Snyder
- HOUSE SPONSORSHIP Lukens and Martinez, Camacho, Duran, Espenoza, Garcia Sander, Hartsook, Johnson, Lieder, Pugliese, Richardson, Soper, Stewart K., Stewart R., Suckla, Taggart, Velasco, Winter T.
A press release this morning says if there is a pause in the wolf reintroduction, the money saved would be used to address the health insurance affordability crisis. It would specifically go to Colorado’s Health Insurance Affordability Enterprise which helps Coloradans lower their health insurance costs.
“A BILL FOR AN ACT — CONCERNING A REALLOCATION OF FUNDING FROM THE DIVISION OF PARKS AND WILDLIFE FOR THE REINTRODUCTION OF GRAY WOLVES TO THE COLORADO HEALTH INSURANCE AFFORDABILITY ENTERPRISE, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, REDUCING AN APPROPRIATION.”
The bill also says by pausing the introduction of wolves for a year, the state could properly manage the wolves that have already been introduced to Colorado.
We have reached out for a comment from Governor Polis and/or the governor’s office on his reaction to the impending bill, and whether he will veto it or sign it, if it passes in the Senate and House during this week’s Special Session. This story will be updated.

“This bill is the right thing to do given our state’s severe financial challenges that threaten the pocketbooks and health insurance costs of hardworking Coloradans,” said Senator Dylan Roberts (D-Frisco). “As Chairman of the Senate Agriculture & Natural Resources Committee who represents many rural and mountain communities impacted by both wolf reintroduction and high health insurance prices, I know personally that my constituents would like our state to focus on lowering health insurance costs, managing our budget challenges, and getting proper management of our existing wolves under control. Now is not the time to be spending precious taxpayer dollars on new wolves – let’s focus on lowering costs for Coloradans and balancing our budget and managing the wolves we do have.”
Senator Marc Catlin (R-Montrose)
“Well, listen, I think these are the kind of things that we need to do if we want the program to thrive. We need to take a pause right now, get the program to work, and come back. I’m not saying kill the program. I’m simply saying we need a moment to take a look at why we’re not getting all of these things done prior to letting wolves out. We just bring them in a hard release, let them out, let them thrive on their own, and they’re not, and neither are the communities.
You know my cattlemen and livestock producers, they’re, they’re struggling with this and so is CPW. The whole program is struggling right now. Let’s take a pause, take a look at it, and let’s fix what’s not working. That’s what this bill is about. And we can help people possibly with their costs on insurance. It seems to me like it’s a win for everyone.”
“Western Slope families and CPW field staff are carrying the daily impacts of wolf reintroduction. Pressing pause on future releases gives the state the space to fix what isn’t working, fully fund landowner support, and carefully steward scarce dollars during a budget crunch. That’s the responsible way to honor the will of the voters while recognizing the realities on the range. This bill doesn’t end reintroduction, it ensures CPW can repair its programs while we work to stabilize the state’s budget.”
Representative Meghan Lukens (D-Steamboat Springs) – “In the face of serious budget challenges, now is the time for responsible, measured action. Rural families, ranchers, and landowners are dealing with the daily realities of wolf reintroduction, and we must ensure the programs in place are strong and working as intended. Pressing pause on future releases allows us to manage existing wolves effectively and focus on what matters most: lowering costs, protecting livelihoods, and making every taxpayer dollar count. Redirecting these limited resources will help us invest in critical priorities like making health insurance more affordable for hardworking Coloradans.”
Representative Matthew Martinez (D-Monte Vista) – “Southern Colorado has a rich and historic agricultural background, and I understand how this process has put stress on rural families and local budgets. Taking a pause on new wolf reintroductions will allow us to save taxpayer money and focus our attention on lowering health insurance costs and addressing our budget challenges. Additionally, with threats to SNAP and Medicaid, hitting the pause button on this program is the pragmatic solution to help balance the budget and provide relief to our communities.”
Press Release; August 19, 2025
Bipartisan Bill Proposes Pause on Wolf Reintroductions to Address Budget Crisis
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 19, 2025
FRISCO, CO – A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers will introduce a bill in the upcoming Special Session of the Colorado legislature that would reallocate funding originally appropriated for the procurement and relocation of new wolves to Colorado in late 2025 or early 2026 and allow for a reasonable pause in wolf reintroduction while the state continues to put in place supports for landowners and handles budget challenges. The funds would instead be used to address the health insurance affordability crisis being created by the US Congress’s inability to extend premium tax credits that help working individuals and families save money on health insurance premiums. The bill will be coprime-sponsored by Roberts, Senator Marc Catlin (R-Montrose), Representative Meghan Lukens (D-Steamboat Springs), and Representative Matthew Martinez (D-Monte Vista) and is co-sponsored by a broad coalition of bipartisan legislators in both the Senate and the House.
Governor Jared Polis has called the General Assembly back to the Capitol for a Special Session of the legislature to begin on August 21, 2025. The session is being called to address the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (H.R.1) by the US Congress and President Trump which immediately put Colorado into a nearly $1 billion budget deficit which must be quickly balanced by the legislature, as required by the state constitution. Further, the US Congress’s failure to extend enhanced Health Insurance Premium Tax Credits in concert with the 2025 Marketplace Integrity and Affordability Final Rule and individual market changes set forth in H.R.1, will have a significant impact on health insurance rates in Colorado’s individual health insurance market, as well as broader market impacts.
Given Colorado’s budget challenges imposed by the passage of Trump’s and Republican’s H.R.1, Colorado must look to every possible source of savings. Colorado’s voters, when they narrowly passed Proposition 114 in 2020 to create a wolf reintroduction program were told it would cost $800,000 per year. This past fiscal year, it cost the state nearly $3.5 million in taxpayer dollars as conflict management and depredation reimbursement costs have soared. Instead of spending more taxpayer dollars on procuring new wolves in the coming winter season, the bill proposes to reallocate that funding, for one year, to Colorado’s Health Insurance Affordability Enterprise which helps Coloradans lower their health insurance costs. Further, by not bringing in new wolves into the state, Colorado can focus on managing the existing wolves more effectively and save significant financial resources.
“This bill is the right thing to do given our state’s severe financial challenges that threaten the pocketbooks and health insurance costs of hardworking Coloradans,” said Senator Dylan Roberts (D-Frisco). “As Chairman of the Senate Agriculture & Natural Resources Committee who represents many rural and mountain communities impacted by both wolf reintroduction and high health insurance prices, I know personally that my constituents would like our state to focus on lowering health insurance costs, managing our budget challenges, and getting proper management of our existing wolves under control. Now is not the time to be spending precious taxpayer dollars on new wolves – let’s focus on lowering costs for Coloradans and balancing our budget.”

Background
July 2025 rate filings by insurance carriers with the Colorado Division of Insurance are, on average, 28% higher than 2025 rates with some requested rate increases on Colorado’s Western Slope of almost 40%. Governor Polis has called on the legislature to address this issue in the Special Session by finding support to help mitigate this impending affordability and uninsured crisis in our state.
Since state budget year 2023-24, the cost of the wolf reintroduction program has far exceeded the $800,000 per year that voters were told in the 2020 State Ballot Information Booklet. For just the most recent year alone, 2024-25, the program cost the state $3,457,613 with funding requirements for livestock conflict reduction and depredation compensation to continue to rise in the coming years. These cost overruns have occurred during a time when the state government has had to make drastic cuts to state spending for transportation infrastructure, Medicaid services, education, and more. Now, with ongoing inflationary pressure, a substantial reduction in available federal funds for state operations due to the passage of H.R. 1 by the Congressional and the expiration of health insurance affordability tax credits that will cause insurance costs for Coloradans to spike, and Colorado’s balanced budget requirement, the State of Colorado is faced with a challenging fiscal situation and Colorado families are at risk of losing access to health insurance.
Programmatically, Colorado’s legal requirement to reintroduce and establish a self-sustaining population of gray wolves has been objectively successful: according to CPW, the wolves reintroduced into Colorado in late 2023 and early 2025 have formed multiple packs and have and continue to reproduce multiple litters of offspring and as of August 2025, there are over 30 wolves in Colorado with that number anticipated to grow as more offspring from the current breeding season are confirmed. Unfortunately, wolf-livestock conflict has only increased as more wolves have been introduced and reproduced which has further escalated the cost to taxpayers.
Therefore, in the context of this extraordinary session, called to address an emerging budget and health insurance affordability crisis, continued funding for the procurement of new wolves from other states or other countries is not a responsible use of taxpayer dollars and undermines the state’s ability to lower costs for Coloradans’ everyday expenses. Colorado should spend money originally allocated for the procurement, capture, transport and release of new wolves on matters more immediately impactful and beneficial to Colorado families while retaining funding to support livestock producers and communities being impacted by Colorado’s existing and expanding wolf population.
