2021 Colorado Code|Title 25 - Public Health and Environment|Article 3.5 - Emergency Medical and Trauma Services|Part 7 - Statewide Trauma System|§ 25-3.5-702. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that trauma is the greatest single cause of death and disability in Colorado for persons under the age of forty-five years and that trauma care is a unique type of emergency medical service.    The general assembly further finds that a trauma system task force made up of various emergency health and trauma care entities submitted a report to the general assembly in 1993 indicating a compelling need to develop and implement a statewide trauma care system in order to assure that appropriate resources are available to trauma victims from the point of injury through rehabilitative care. In addition, a statewide system is essential to provide Colorado residents and visitors with a greater probability of surviving a life-threatening injury and to reduce trauma-related morbidity and mortality in this state.    The general assembly, therefore, declares that it is necessary to enact legislation directing the board of health to adopt rules that govern the implementation and oversight of the trauma care system. The general assembly further declares that to ensure the availability and coordination of resources necessary to provide essential care, it is necessary to enact legislation that directs the department of public health and environment to collaborate with existing agencies and organizations, including governing bodies for counties and cities and counties, in implementing and monitoring a statewide trauma care system.

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   Many substance abuse, public health, education, regulatory, and law enforcement professionals are concerned about the impact that the legalization of retail marijuana will have on children, youth, and adults in the state;    Many of these professionals believe that the legalization of retail marijuana may result in:   An increase in the abuse of marijuana by adults and youth;    A greater need for early intervention services due to increased use of marijuana by youth and adults;    A belief among children and youth that the risks associated with marijuana use are low;    Health impacts in connection with exposure to secondhand smoke;    An increase in the instances of impaired driving and the associated increase in crashes;    New health concerns regarding pregnant or nursing women who use marijuana or who are exposed to secondhand smoke from marijuana; and    Other potential concerns that have not yet been identified.       Mass-reach health communications strategies have been found to be effective in reducing tobacco and alcohol use among adults and youth, in increasing the use of cessation services, and in limiting tobacco and alcohol initiation by youth; and    There is substantial evidence that mass media campaigns and community coalitions are effective in preventing marijuana use.       The general assembly further finds and declares that to protect and improve the health of the citizens of the state, it is a prudent use of state resources to require the Colorado department of public health and environment to implement a campaign to increase the awareness of and education about the impacts of marijuana use.
