Unlikely to pass

Local land-use bills often struggle to gain national attention unless they have broad bipartisan support or are part of a larger spending package.

Key Points

This bill stops the government from allowing a specific limestone mine near Glenwood Springs, Colorado, to get any bigger. The Secretary of the Interior would be banned from approving new mining applications or sales for this site.
The goal is to protect the local environment and the famous hot springs in the area. People who live in or visit Glenwood Springs are the most affected because the mine expansion could impact their water and tourism.
The ban covers specific sections of land managed by the Bureau of Land Management in Garfield County. It applies to all current and future requests to grow the mining operations at the Mid-Continent Limestone Quarry.
