Bill would pause Colorado wolf reintroduction program, redirect funds to health care

A new bill at the Colorado State Capitol would temporarily halt the state’s gray wolf reintroduction program and redirect funding to help cover health insurance costs.

DENVER (KDVR) — A new bill at the Colorado State Capitol would temporarily halt the state’s gray wolf reintroduction program and redirect funding to help cover health insurance costs.

The proposal, co-sponsored by Rep. Matthew Martinez, would move about $264,000 out of Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s wolf program and into the Colorado Health Insurance Affordability Enterprise.
