What it does

RESTRUCTURED: the original Colorado AI Act (SB 24-205) was repealed and reenacted by SB 26-189 in 2026 after its predecessor's enforcement was blocked in federal court; the replacement regime is the Automated Decision-Making Technology (ADMT) Act, with provisions taking effect 1 January 2027, alongside a separate Chatbot Safety Act (passed May 2026) requiring disclosure of AI interaction, protection of minors from harmful content and safety protocols. The Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority and rulemaking power; no private right of action.

Honest assessment

An OPEN, PUBLISHED, NAMED comment window closing 26 October 2026 with a public comment repository — this is among the highest-value live levers in the US right now, and materially easier to influence than a federal docket because the volume is far lower. Colorado's AG is writing the operative definitions for 'consequential decision', chatbot safety duties and minors' protections from scratch. Scope is algorithmic discrimination and chatbot harms, NOT catastrophic risk. The 2026 repeal-and-reenact is critical: SB 24-205 analyses are obsolete.
