Today, the House passed Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s CONVEY Act, which directs the Bureau of Land Management to sell a parcel of land to Mesa County for economic development in Clifton. While Congresswoman Boebert has had a ton of legislative success, this is her first standalone bill to pass the House of Representatives. The CONVEY Act instructs the Secretary of the Interior to transfer 31.1 acres, designated for disposal and deemed surplus by the federal government, to Mesa County, Colorado, for economic development in Clifton.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and several members of the House Committee on Natural Resources took on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Director Martha Williams, calling out her agencies attempts to overpower lower 48 states management of the gray wolf.

Today, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert reintroduced the Fentanyl is a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) Act to protect our children and communities by classifying the deadly drug fentanyl as a WMD. The Fentanyl is a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) Act would require the Assistant Secretary for the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office of the Department of Homeland Security to treat illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s Office announced mobile office hours in the coming weeks. Congresswoman Boebert’s office has hosted over 244 mobile office hours in every county in the District, helped over 2,763 people, and returned over $5,570,206.678 to constituents.

Today, Congresswoman Boebert voted against the short-term Continuing Resolution that continues Nancy Pelosi’s inflationary spending and funds Joe Biden’s failed policies. The Continuing Resolution comes at a time when the national debt exceeds $34 trillion, inflation is at its highest in 40 years, and the country is facing its worst-ever border crisis. On Joe Biden’s watch, inflation and gas prices also reached record highs and the U.S. lost its prized AAA credit rating.

Following pressure from Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and the House Committee on Natural Resources, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced this week they are withdrawing their proposed rule which would have allowed foreign owned Natural Asset Companies (NACs) to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

Today, the IRS announced they will not be taxing TABOR refunds this tax season. This comes after a year long campaign from Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and the bipartisan Colorado delegation pressuring the IRS to back off of plans to unnecessarily tax TABOR refunds. In 1992, Colorado enacted the TABOR amendment, which imposes constraints on the amount of tax revenue retained by the state, mandating the return of any surplus revenue to our taxpayers. The IRS has consistently refrained from categorizing TABOR refunds as taxable income. This historical practice aligns with the IRS's traditional respect for states' autonomy in designing and administering tax refund procedures.
