Its AI responsibilities
Senate committee of reference for AI, automated decision-making technology, consumer protection and technology bills. SB 26-189 was referred here.
Current business
SB 26-189 'Automated Decision-Making Technology' (Rodriguez, Coleman / Duran, Bacon) — repeals and replaces the Colorado AI Act (SB 24-205). Signed 14 May 2026, effective 1 Jan 2027. Predecessor history: SB 24-205 enacted 2024; SB 25B-004 (Aug 2025 special session) pushed its effective date to 30 Jun 2026; AG delayed enforcement Apr 2026; a federal court then restrained enforcement.
Status
VERIFIED, WITH LITIGATION RISK — SB 26-189 drops SB 24-205's algorithmic-discrimination duty of care and risk-management program in favor of disclosure/transparency plus consumer rights over ADMT in consequential decisions. A federal district court ordered the AG not to initiate enforcement of SB 24-205 or replacement legislation for conduct occurring before 14 days after it rules on x.AI's preliminary-injunction motion, so the 1 Jan 2027 date is not secure.
Public route
YES — Colorado is one of the most open states. Any member of the public may testify in person OR remotely by video at a committee hearing, and may submit written testimony, after registering through the General Assembly's Public Testimony Registration system. Register in advance of the hearing (sign-ups typically open once the hearing is noticed and close shortly before it starts). Written testimony is accepted from anyone and is distributed to committee members.
Agency route
Colorado Attorney General — exclusive enforcement under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act; ADMT violations are deceptive trade practices. Complaints: https://coag.gov/file-complaint/
