Colorado repealed its original broader AI law SB 24-205 and replaced it with SB 26-189, a narrower Automated-Decision-Making Technology law effective January 1, 2027, focusing on advance notice, adverse outcome disclosure, human review, recordkeeping, and developer documentation while removing extensive risk management and impact assessment requirements.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Employers building automated decision software in the US face a tighter compliance window with clearer but narrower obligations in Colorado, forcing you to design for upfront notices and human review rather than broad risk filings. This shift tightens market access but hands regulatory enforcement to the Attorney General alone, creating a central gatekeeper for legal scrutiny.
