House Bill 25-1119 is a radical climate mandate that forces businesses to publicly disclose their greenhouse gas emissions, creating a new government-backed attack on energy, agriculture, and manufacturing.
This bill:
- Forces all businesses earning over $1 billion to report direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) annually—even for emissions they don’t control.
- Expands state control over private industry, forcing businesses to comply with third-party audits and expensive verification processes.
- Opens businesses to lawsuits and massive daily fines—up to $100,000 per day—if they fail to comply.
- Targets Colorado’s energy, agriculture, and transportation sectors, burdening them with endless bureaucracy, legal threats, and government interference.
- Allows the Attorney General to take legal action against businesses, turning environmental reporting into a legal weapon.
This isn’t about transparency. It’s about punishing industries that Colorado’s radical left wants to destroy.
My Thoughts on the Bill
Colorado’s economy relies on energy, agriculture, and manufacturing—but HB 25-1119 declares war on these industries, drowning them in red tape, audits, and legal threats.
This bill isn’t about “climate responsibility.” It’s about government control, more lawsuits, and pushing the radical green agenda at the expense of businesses and jobs.
Why HB 25-1119 Must Be Stopped
❌ Weaponizes government against businesses – With $100,000 daily fines and legal threats, this is about control, not accountability.
❌ Hurts energy, agriculture, and transportation – The industries Colorado relies on the most will be forced into compliance or bankrupted.
❌ Forces businesses to track emissions they don’t control – Reporting “Scope 3” emissions means tracking things as ridiculous as employee commutes.
❌ Another bureaucratic nightmare – Third-party audits, costly paperwork, and never-ending legal battles add zero value to consumers or workers.
Enough is Enough: Stop the War on Energy, Agriculture & Business!
Colorado thrives on oil, gas, farming, and industry—but HB 25-1119 punishes these job-creators while giving government more power.
📢 Tell your legislators to VOTE NO on HB 25-1119! Colorado businesses need freedom, not another government stranglehold!
