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.
