I signed legislation into law to provide transformative support for clean transportation, energy efficient buildings, manufacturing innovation, geothermal energy, and air quality monitoring, regulation, and incentives to save people money on clean energy investments. SB22-193 reduces air pollution from industrial and manufacturing operations, expands access to electric bicycles, and supports Colorado's school bus fleet transition to electric, saving school districts money and protecting the health of Colorado’s kids.
Yesterday afternoon, I also signed HB22-1244, to protect communities against toxic air contaminants. This legislation will increase protections for low income and communities of color that are historically disproportionately impacted by air pollutants.
I then joined bipartisan sponsors to sign SB22-198, which creates an industry-funded Orphaned Wells Mitigation Enterprise that will ensure that taxpayers aren’t left with the bill when it comes to cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells.
