§ 36-20-102 — Legislative declaration

The general assembly declares that the
state of Colorado recognizes that economic benefits can be derived for the people
of the state from weather modification. Operations, research, experimentation, and
development in the field of weather modification shall therefore be encouraged. In
order to minimize possible adverse effects, weather modification activities shall be
carried on with proper safeguards, and accurate information concerning such
activities shall be made available for purposes of regulation. While recognizing the
value of research and development of weather modification techniques by
governmental agencies, the general assembly finds and declares that the actual
practice of weather modification, whether at public or private expense, is properly a
commercial activity which the law should encourage to be carried out, whenever
practicable, by private enterprise.
