Republican Terri Carver for Senate District 9


2016 Support our Military Installations - Requires the CO Department of Transportation to include transportation needs of our military bases in the state Transportation Plan. This helps protect our bases from future closures.
2022 Emissions Exemption for Military Emergency Generators - A local Dept of Defense joint base support team contacted Terri in 2021 about a long-standing issue with Colorado – Colorado was the only state in the country with military installations which refused to recognize a Clean Air Act exemption for military emergency generators that commanders must run, if the regular power source goes down. This unique position of Colorado put our military commanders at risk of going to jail for running their back-up generators during an emergency. Terri's bill (HB22-1372) follows federal practice and the approach of other states and protects our military commanders. Signed into law.
NOTE: Colorado has delayed implementing this critical national security bill. Terri has been working with state and federal elected officials to get this done.
