(1) The general assembly hereby
declares that:

(a) Exposure of children to lead represents a significant environmental
health problem that is preventable;

(b) According to the federal Residential Lead-based Paint Hazard Reduction
Act of 1992, 15 U.S.C. secs. 2682 and 2684, et seq., as amended, home buyers and
renters must be properly informed of the risks of lead exposure to children,
especially children under seven years of age;

(c) Trained and qualified individuals are needed in order to advise consumers
about lead hazards in general and about specific measures that may be needed to
control such hazards; and

(d) The state seeks to adopt the concept of lead-safe housing units and
child-occupied facilities, rather than lead-free housing and facilities. The goal of
the state should not be the removal of all lead-based paint, but the creation of
housing and facilities where no significant lead-based paint hazard is present. This
goal includes the removal, enclosure, or encapsulation of lead-based paint to
remove lead hazards from target housing and child-occupied facilities.

(2) The general assembly declares that the enforcement of the lead-based
paint abatement standards may be delegated to local health and building
departments in Colorado.

(3) Therefore, the general assembly determines and declares that the
enactment of this part 11 is a matter of statewide concern to achieve uniformity in
the regulation of lead abatement practices and uniformity in the qualifications for
and certification of persons who perform such abatement.
