Source: Colorado General AssemblyAlso reported by Epstein Becker Green

Governor Jared Polis signed SB 24-205 on 17 May 2024, with reservations. From 1 February 2026 it requires developers and deployers of high-risk AI to use reasonable care against algorithmic discrimination in consequential decisions on employment, education, lending, housing, insurance, health care, legal services and government services, with impact assessments and notices to consumers.

Why it matters

Employers, schools and AI vendors in Colorado faced state duties of care on high-risk AI decisions, which the state delayed and in 2026 replaced with a lighter law.
