Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly
finds and declares that:
(a) According to the United States environmental protection agency:
(I) Aircraft that use leaded aviation gasoline are a leading source of
lead emissions in our air;
(II) Excessive exposure to lead has many harmful health effects,

the act. which can include adverse effects on the nervous system, kidney function,
the immune system, reproductive and developmental systems, the
cardiovascular system, and the oxygen carrying capacity of blood;
(III) Exposure to lead can cause irreversible and life-long harmful
health effects in children and pregnant individuals; and
(IV) Elevated lead in the environment can result in decreased
growth and reproduction in plants and animals and negative neurological
effects in vertebrates;
(b) According to the United States centers for disease control and
prevention, no level of lead exposure is safe for children, and even low
levels of lead in their blood are associated with developmental delays,
learning difficulties, and behavioral issues;
(c) Peer-reviewed research indicates that children who live near
airports with significant general aviation activity have elevated levels of
lead in their blood and that blood lead levels in children under five increase
as levels of atmospheric lead increase;
(d) Persistent and loud noise also has harmful health effects,
especially for children; and
(e) It is therefore necessary, appropriate, and in the best interest of
all Coloradans for the state to:
(I) Provide financial incentives in the form of an income tax credit
and a grant program to reduce the use of leaded aviation gasoline; and
(II) Create standards for an airport with significant general aviation
activity in an urban or suburban area to follow to notify the surrounding
community of its voluntary plans and procedures to reduce the impacts of
noise and lead on the community.
