§ 24-62-102 — Legislative declaration

(1) The general assembly hereby:

(a) Finds that sub-section (D) of article VI of the Intergovernmental
Agreement between the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and the State of Colorado
Concerning Air Quality Control on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation originally
specified that if federal legislation authorizing the treatment of the tribe as a state
for federal Clean Air Act purposes was not enacted by December 13, 2002, then
the agreement would become null and void;

(b) Determines that, pursuant to sub-section (B) of article XIII of the
agreement, the parties to the agreement modified sub-section (D) of article VI of
the agreement in December 2001, December 2002, and December 2003, to extend
for one year the deadline for passage of the federal legislation, and the final
deadline for such passage according to the agreement as modified is December 13,
2004; and

(c) Declares that, whereas the federal legislation contemplated by the
agreement, The Southern Ute and Colorado Intergovernmental Agreement
Implementation Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-336), was approved on October 18, 2004, the
contingency contemplated by sub-section (D) of article VI of the agreement and
section 25-7-1309 (1)(c), C.R.S., is moot.
