The Senate Natural Resources Committee on March 23 advanced a package of bills on state land and fuel resiliency, gave a due-pass recommendation to a Mexican gray wolf restriction, and rejected key solar decommissioning and gasoline-waiver proposals after hours of testimony from environmental groups, utilities and local officials.

After lengthy debate on HB2758, the committee moved a set of other natural‑resources bills—covering mining reclamation notices, AMA grandfathered rights extensions, county water hauling, agricultural tax terminology, and geologic analysis transfers—each to receive due‑pass recommendations following staff summaries and short testimony.

Committee recommended due-pass for a series of bills on water, energy and environmental policy and held or failed a small number of measures after stakeholder debate. Key actions: HB2099 (storage credits) passed as amended; HB2263 (replenishment locations) passed as amended; HB2843 (plug-in solar) held; HB4100 (CAP notice) failed; HB2889 (uranium monitoring) passed; HB2782 (utility transparency) passed as amended.

The Senate Natural Resources Committee gave due‑pass recommendations to a slate of bills covering water infrastructure, rural cannabis access, small modular reactor rules, rooftop solar protections, incident‑management funding for fire agencies, and an OHV weight/registration change after hours of testimony and contested roll calls.
