13 company for the income tax year, the excess credit is not carried forward
14 and shall be refunded to the taxpayer.

private lands across the state;
(b) Since 2000, Colorado has proactively invested in conservation
through the conservation easement tax credit program;
(c) The conservation easement tax credit program incentivizes private
landowners to voluntarily protect their properties, which creates public benefits
to Colorado's lands, waters, wildlife, and people.
(d) The benefits of conservation are unique and wide-ranging.
Conservation has contributed significantly to the protection of wildlife habitat,
critical wetlands, urban open space, and working farms and ranches.
(e) The conservation easement tax credit program has aided Colorado
in reducing its carbon emissions and accomplishing its biodiversity goals, while
supporting rural economic resiliency, benefiting all Coloradans;
(f) In pursuit of greater equity in conservation, it is crucial to enhance
programs that promote public benefits for all Coloradans; and
(g) Equity in conservation requires ongoing collaboration with private
landowners, state and federal public land managers, and counties and
municipalities. Underscoring and investing in the inclusion of underserved
communities, tribes, and historically marginalized land interests will further
