Chasing Horses Wild Horse Advocates (CHWHA) has been working with North Dakota State Representative Josh Boschee to help save the iconic wild horses that call Theodore Roosevelt National Park home. On January 19, 2023, CHWHA submitted a resolution to Representative Boschee. Representative Boschee is currently looking over the resolution and will make any necessary edits before it is submitted Friday (1/20/2023) for formal drafting. He/we will also then be looking for co-sponsors for this resolution, which we do not believe will be an issue. Both Representative Boschee and other state legislators that we have spoken with believe this resolution will pass.
You can view the resolution that was submitted by CHWHA here:
The North Dakota State Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed Senate Concurrent Resolution SCR 4014! It now moves to the ND House for testimony and a vote.
