enactedDate: 2024-05-17
appliesTo: developers and deployers of high-risk AI systems used by Colorado consumers
officialUrl: https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb24-205
notes: Signed May 17, 2024. Implementation delayed twice (first to Feb 2026, then Jun 2026 via SB 25B-004). On May 14, 2026, Governor Polis signed SB 26-189, which repeals SB 24-205 in its entirety and replaces it with a narrower ADMT framework. The original law never took effect. Litigation context (re-verified 2026-08-22): xAI sued Colorado in early April 2026 challenging the Act; the US DOJ moved to intervene on April 24, 2026, filing its own complaint alleging the law violates the Equal Protection Clause, and on April 27, 2026 the court granted a joint motion temporarily suspending enforcement pending the 2026 legislative session and a ruling on xAI's preliminary-injunction motion. The SB 26-189 repeal followed on May 14, 2026, while that suspension was in place.
