Fiscal Note
Status:
The fiscal note reflects the enacted bill.
Summary of Legislation
The bill authorizes the use of emergency stationary engines on military facilities or facilities under the
control of the U.S. Department of Defense (military facilities) during an emergency event or for routine
maintenance or testing, so long as the emergency stationary engine is in compliance with applicable
emissions standards.
A person operating an emergency stationary engine on a military facility must minimize its use as
much as possible, report emergency events to the Department of Public Health and Environment
(CDPHE), and record certain information about the emergency stationary engine operations,
including maintenance and testing. A person that installs an emergency stationary engine on a
military facility must maintain and make available records of operations for five years, and operators
must submit annual compliance reports to the CDPHE along with air quality permit compliance
reports as required by the CDPHE.
The requirements of this bill take effect only if the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approves
inclusion of these requirements into Colorado’s State Implementation Plan. Page 2

annual compliance reports from emergency stationary engine operators on military facilities. This

located on military facilities, and that associated workload impacts can be accomplished within
existing resources.
Effective Date
This bill was signed into law by the Governor and took effect on June 2, 2022.
