Gov. Jared Polis signed 23 bills into law Monday — including bans on certain kinds of firefighting foam — on his last day to act on bills from the 2019 legislative session. At an Arvada fire station, Polis signed into law House Bill 1279, which bans certain kinds of foam used in firefighting training. Such foam contains so-called "forever chemicals" that have contaminated drinking water in El Paso County and elsewhere. The bill was signed in Arvada and not in El Paso County, much to the consternation of one of its sponsors, Rep. Lois Landgraf, R-Colorado Springs. The foam contaminated Fountain's water supply, and it has since installed filters to deal with problem. "It's an insult" not to sign the bill there, said Landgraf, because the bill has everything to do with Fountain area water. Her bill co-sponsors were Democrats Sen. Pete Lee and Rep. Tony Exum, both of Colorado Springs, and Republican Sen. Dennis Hisey of Fountain.
