Local Government Review of Fencing Projects

Abstract

The bill requires, on or after July 1, 2025, and before commencing a project to install or substantially repair a contiguous fence of a certain size in the Sangre de Cristo land grant lands (covered fencing project), a person to submit an application for the covered fencing project to the local government with jurisdiction over the covered fencing project (application) if the local government has opted into the bill's requirements . No later than 14 days after the local government's receipt of an application, the local government must publish notice of the application on the local government's website. No later than 60 days after the local government's receipt of an application, the local government must either approve or reject the application based on certain criteria. Despite the criteria, a local government may approve an application if it determines that the benefits of the covered fencing project outweigh the harms. If the local government finds that a covered fencing project presents no significant environmental impacts then the local government shall not require a person commencing the covered fencing project to submit an application or pay a fee. Also, the governing body of a local government may pass an ordinance or resolution opting out of these requirements.
