Senate Journal, June 7
After consideration on the merits, the Committee recommends that HB21-1266 be
amended as follows, and as so amended, be referred to the Committee on Appropriations
with favorable recommendation.
Amend reengrossed bill, page 5, after line 5 insert:

"(2) The general assembly also hereby:
(a) Finds that prompt action is essential for Colorado to meet its
climate goals, given, among other things, the slow turnover of equipment,
vehicles, appliances, and other technologies that burn or release fossil fuels. The
general assembly further recognizes that climate change is a cumulative
emissions problem. This is because long-lived climate pollutants can persist for
centuries in the atmosphere, thus committing us to warming for generations to
come. As we continue to emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere over the
next decade, and even over the next few years, we will continue to exacerbate
the climate damages we are already seeing and increase the risk of catastrophic
disruption. Therefore, early action to reduce the pollutants that contribute to
climate change, thereby reducing overall atmospheric greenhouse gas
concentrations, is essential. Colorado needs to secure reductions in pollution
over time in amounts that align with the estimated carbon dioxide budgets
identified by the United Nations' intergovernmental panel on climate change
consistent with limiting the average global warming, in comparison to accepted
historical average temperatures, to one and one-half degrees Celsius.
(b) Determines that:
(I) Due to historical systems and practices that intentionally targeted
Black, Latino, Asian American, and Indigenous people, communities of color,
and low-income communities, there continues to be a racial and socioeconomic
inequity in regard to the impacts of climate change and pollution. As
documented in multiple peer-reviewed scientific studies, communities with
predominantly Black, Latino, Asian American, or Indigenous populations suffer
from higher rates of air pollution and damage due to changing and more severe
weather and have been systematically excluded from governance and decision
making. It is therefore the responsibility of the state to include and engage these
communities more fully in policymaking at every level and to ensure that
environmental policy works toward restorative justice and benefitting these
communities. The general assembly recognizes that the key to addressing these
historic wrongs is to rapidly reduce pollution in disproportionately impacted
communities, including from electric power, industrial, and manufacturing
sources.
(II) The public should have a meaningful opportunity to participate in
rule-making proceedings before the air quality control commission. This
requires that members of the public be provided with timely access to
information needed to understand proposed rules and to develop alternative
proposals;
(III) The commission is encouraged to use language that is
understandable to citizens who do not have specialized knowledge of the
matters before the commission; and
(c) Declares that:
(I) Nothing in this act:
(A) Alters the greenhouse gas emission reduction goals previously
established in section 25-7-102 (2)(g), C.R.S., in either amount or timing; or
(B) Detracts from the commission's existing authority to require more
than the minimum greenhouse gas emission reduction goals and deadlines
previously established in section 25-7-102 (2)(g), C.R.S.; and
(II) This act adds to, but does not otherwise alter, the air quality control
commission's authority and obligation to publish and promulgate rules pursuant
to sections 25-7-105, 25-7-102 (2)(g), and 25-7-140.".

updated air pollutant emission notice with the division on or before December
31, 1992. In addition, A revised emission notice shall be filed whenever a
significant change in emissions, in processes, or in the facility is anticipated or
has occurred OR AS THE COMMISSION OTHERWISE DETERMINES TO BE
NECESSARY. The revised air pollutant emission notice shall be IS valid for NO
MORE THAN five years or until the underlying permit expires. The commission

are required to be reported in an air pollutant emission notice. NO LATER THAN
DECEMBER 31, 2022, THE COMMISSION SHALL INCLUDE GREENHOUSE GAS, AS
DEFINED IN SECTION 25-7-140 (6), IN THE LIST OF AIR POLLUTANTS REQUIRED TO

CATEGORIES OF SOURCES FOR WHICH AND THE THRESHOLDS BELOW WHICH
GREENHOUSE GAS DOES NOT NEED TO BE REPORTED IN AN AIR POLLUTANT
EMISSION NOTICE. AN AIR POLLUTANT EMISSION NOTICE FOR GREENHOUSE
GASES NEED NOT BE REQUIRED FOR A FACILITY OR ENTITY THAT IS OTHERWISE
