Colorado (United States) Urgent at the time Adopted

Colorado repeals and replaces its AI Act with SB 26-189, effective 1 January 2027

The Governor signed SB 26-189, which repeals and re-enacts the Colorado AI Act (SB 24-205) before its delayed 30 June 2026 effective date. The replacement law narrows the scope to automated decision-making technology that materially influences consequential decisions, drops the duty of care, impact assessments, the risk-management programme and Attorney General notification, and adds advance notice, adverse-decision disclosure, meaningful human review, three-year record keeping and developer documentation duties. Recorded from secondary reporting; confirm against the enrolled bill.

Practical impact: Stop building to the SB 24-205 impact-assessment and risk-programme requirements; plan notice, adverse-decision disclosure, human review, record keeping and developer documentation for consequential decisions from 1 January 2027.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a change?

A dated development in the life of an instrument: adoption, entry into force, an amendment, a withdrawal, a gazette notice, the opening or closing of a consultation, or guidance being issued under it. Each entry says what changed and what it means in practice, and links the official source.

How far back does the change log go?

To 2017, which is where the earliest recorded national AI strategies sit. Entries are grouped by year, and the whole log is available as an RSS feed and through the API.

Will I be told when something changes?

Follow a jurisdiction or an instrument and you will be alerted when a change is recorded against it. There is also a digest you can subscribe to. Both are free.
