253.5801. Short title. THIS PART 8 SHALL BE KNOWN AND MAY BE CITED AS THE "TOBACCO EDUCATION, PREVENTION, AND CESSATION ACT".

253.5802. Legislative declaration. (1) THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HEREBY FINDS THAT:

(a) THE USE OF ALL TYPES OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS, INCLUDING SMOKELESS TOBACCO, RESULTS IN A HIGH INCIDENCE OF ADDICTION, DISEASE, ILLNESS, AND DEATH;

(b) PERSONS WHO BEGIN USING AND BECOME ADDICTED TO TOBACCO PRODUCTS IN THEIR YOUTH OFTEN FACE A LIFETIME OF STRUGGLE AND RECURRING ILLNESS IN COPING WITH AND ATTEMPTING TO OVERCOME ADDICTION TO TOBACCO PRODUCTS;

(c) EXPERIMENTATION WITH TOBACCO PRODUCTS BY YOUTHS IS OFTEN A FIRST STEP TOWARDS MORE SERIOUS DRUG EXPERIMENTATION AND CREATES A GREATER LIKELIHOOD THAT THE YOUTH WHO EXPERIMENTS WITH TOBACCO WILL AT SOME POINT BE ADDICTED TO EVEN MORE HARMFUL SUBSTANCES;

(d) IMPLEMENTATION OF AGGRESSIVE TOBACCO PREVENTION, EDUCATION, AND CESSATION PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOLAGE CHILDREN IS NECESSARY TO ASSIST YOUNG PEOPLE IN AVOIDING AND ENDING TOBACCO USE;

(e) SCHOOL DISTRICTS, SCHOOLS, AND OTHER ENTITIES THAT PROVIDE TOBACCO PREVENTION, EDUCATION, AND CESSATION PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOLAGE CHILDREN SHOULD REACH OUT TO PARENTS AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO PARTICIPATE, EITHER AS STUDENTS OR ROLE MODELS, IN IMPLEMENTING SAID PROGRAMS.

(2) THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HEREBY FINDS THAT PERSONS WITH MENTAL ILLNESS ARE MORE LIKELY TO ABUSE TOBACCO PRODUCTS THAN ANY OTHER SEGMENT OF SOCIETY. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY FURTHER FINDS THAT THE UNUSUALLY HEAVY PATTERN OF TOBACCO ABUSE ENGAGED IN BY PERSONS WITH MENTAL ILLNESS REQUIRES SPECIAL TREATMENT STRATEGIES THAT ARE NOT PROVIDED BY OTHER ALCOHOL, DRUG, OR TOBACCO ABUSE PROGRAMS. IT IS THEREFORE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S INTENT THAT THE PROGRAMS FUNDED PURSUANT TO THIS PART 8 INCLUDE COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS TO PREVENT AND TREAT TOBACCO ADDICTION AMONG PERSONS WITH MENTAL ILLNESS.

(3) THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ALSO FINDS THAT:

(a) EACH YEAR, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN THIS STATE DIE FROM DISEASES THAT HAVE BEEN CLINICALLY PROVEN TO BE CAUSED BY OR DIRECTLY RELATED TO TOBACCO USE;

(b) ONCE A PERSON STARTS USING TOBACCO, HE OR SHE USUALLY BECOMES ADDICTED TO THE NICOTINE CONTAINED IN THE TOBACCO, WHICH MAKES IT TERRIBLY DIFFICULT FOR THE PERSON TO QUIT USING TOBACCO EVEN WHEN THE PERSON IS AWARE OF THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH RISKS THAT ACCOMPANY TOBACCO USE;

(c) STUDIES SHOW THAT A CHILD IS AT A SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER RISK OF STARTING TO USE TOBACCO IF THE CHILD'S PARENTS OR OLDER SIBLINGS USE TOBACCO. THEREFORE, REDUCING TOBACCO USE BY ADULTS MAY SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE RISK THAT CHILDREN WILL BEGIN USING TOBACCO;

(d) ANNUAL DIRECT MEDICAL COSTS FROM TOBACCO USE IN COLORADO CURRENTLY EXCEED FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS;

(e) COMPREHENSIVE TOBACCO EDUCATION, PREVENTION, AND CESSATION PROGRAMS MAY RESULT IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN SAVINGS TO THE STATE AND INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTS OF THE STATE FOR GENERATIONS.

WHEREAS, On April 20, 1999, tragedy struck Colorado and the nation with the senseless and violent shootings and destruction of property at Columbine High School; and

WHEREAS, Thirteen individuals were slain and 24 were wounded when two students with weapons and explosives took Columbine High School captive; and

WHEREAS, Reasons for such violence and anger elude the community and the nation, leaving Colorado and the nation spinning with questions and grief; and

WHEREAS, Families have been torn apart and lives forever changed by the shootings at Columbine High School; and

WHEREAS, The victims include not only the dead and physically wounded, but all of those who endured indescribable horror and the loss of security and innocence; and

WHEREAS, State agencies and volunteers from throughout Colorado have provided support to the victims of this crisis and their families; and

WHEREAS, Law enforcement officials responded bravely to the shootings and continue to search for answers to the questions of how and why this tragedy occurred; and

WHEREAS, The faculty and staff of Columbine High School courageously protected their students and responded to the severity of the situation with leadership and bravery that helped save many lives; and

WHEREAS, Hidden within the tragedy surrounding the shootings at Columbine High School is the call to find ways to prevent this violence from robbing our community again; now, therefore,

Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Sixtysecond General Assembly of the State of Colorado, the Senate concurring herein:

(1) That heartfelt condolences be sent to the families and friends of the victims from the shooting and that words are hardly sufficient to tell them that our sympathies, thoughts, and prayers are with them in this time of grief;

(2) That sincerest thanks be sent to the law enforcement agencies, volunteers, and faculty of Columbine High School for their efforts to protect the students, comfort them, and search for the answers to why this tragedy occurred;

(3) That our sympathy and support are extended to all who must live with the memories and emotional scars from this tragedy; and

(4) That we, the citizens of Colorado, must join together to search for answers to prevent tragedies such as this from happening again. We must commit to beginning the dialogue to prevent violence in schools, to become more aware of the signs that our children may be headed for trouble, and to reach out to our children every day and let them know they are loved and that violence is not the answer to their problems.

Be It Further Resolved, That copies of this resolution be sent to the families of Cassie Bernall, Steve Curnow, Corey DePooter, Kelly Fleming, Matthew Kechter, Daniel Mauser, Daniel Rohrbough, Dave Sanders, Rachel Scott, Isaiah Shoels, John Tomlin, Lauren Townsend, Kyle Velazquez, Valeen Schnurr, Anne Marie Hochhalter, Sean Graves, Richard Castaldo, Brian Anderson, Nicole Nowlen, Mark Taylor, Mark Kintgen, Lance Kirklin, Lisa Kreutz, Jeanna Park, Stephanie Munson, Adam Kyler, Jennifer Doyle, Stephen Austin Eubanks, Nick Foss, Dan Steepleton, Joyce Jankowski, Pat Nielson, Michael Johnson, Makai Hall, Patrick Ireland, and Kasey Ruegsegger, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, the Jefferson County School District Communications Office, and the principal and faculty of Columbine High School.

WHEREAS, The 1998 Colorado General Assembly Interim Committee on Intrastate Air Service reviewed and studied the need to improve the safety and adequacy of intrastate air service in Colorado; and

Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Sixty-second General Assembly of the State of Colorado, the Senate concurring herein:

That the members of the Sixty-second General Assembly call upon Colorado's Congressional Delegation to support H.R.1000, the "Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21^st Century", and specifically "Title IX - Truth in Budgeting", and, upon its passage, to work to provide funds to improve the safety, timeliness, and adequacy of intrastate air service throughout Colorado.
