Representative Tyler, chair, called the meeting to order. A quorum was present. Representative Sonnenberg, prime sponsor, presented House Bill 14-1216. The bill establishes requirements for safety markings on towers over 50 feet in height in rural or unincorporated areas of the state. Existing towers must comply with this safety marking requirement within one year. Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes a class 2 misdemeanor. Currently, towers under 200 feet in height are not regulated by the federal aviation standards. Witness testimony was heard on February 19, 2014. Prepared amendment L.006 (Attachment A) was distributed to the committee. Representative Sonnenberg discussed the intent of the amendment and exemptions set forth by the amendment. He said that it includes the small towers that are difficult to see. Representative Mitsch Bush asked if meteorological towers are included in the bill. Representative Sonnenberg said that they are still included under the requirements of the bill.
