Colorado · SB 26-189

Automated-decision transparency & consumer rights.

Applies to: Deployers/developers of consequential automated decisions in Colorado. Signed 14 May 2026 · effective 1 Jan 2027 · rulemaking open, comments close 26 Oct 2026 Checked against the source 13 Aug 2026

What the signed record shows

Disclosure, consumer rights, and record-retention for consequential automated decisions. Repeals & replaces SB 24-205.

The proof is a signed, tamper-evident record. Anyone can check it, free, without an account, and nothing has to leave the building to make it. Evidence, not a promise.

Where this stands. Rulemaking is open now. On 11 August 2026 the Colorado Attorney General filed a Notice of Rulemaking Hearing with draft ADMT and Chatbot Safety Rules covering SB 26-189 and HB 26-1263 together. The comment window runs 11 August to 26 October 2026, 11:59pm MST, and comments filed by 5 October 2026 are considered for revisions to be presented at the hearing. SB 26-189 repeals and replaces SB 24-205, whose own enforcement remains stayed under a joint-motion order while litigation continues.

What it means. A Colorado deployer reading this today has a live window to respond to the draft rules, and a 1 January 2027 effective date behind it. The comment deadlines are the near dates; the statute is the far one.
