AI transparency
C.R.S. 1-46-103
In effect
Effective 2024-07-01
Colorado General Assembly official bill page
No person may distribute, publish, broadcast, or display a communication about a candidate for elective office that includes a deepfake within 60 days of a primary or 90 days of a general election, unless the communication carries a specified clear and conspicuous disclosure that it has been edited and falsely appears authentic. This binds any distributing party, not only the AI system's provider or deployer, and is unaffected by the litigation and repeal touching SB 24-205 and SB 26-189.
C.R.S. 6-1-1701 et seq., as originally enacted
Repealed
Colorado General Assembly official bill page
As originally enacted, deployers of a high-risk AI system had to provide consumers a clear statement whenever the system was used to make a consequential decision about them (C.R.S. 6-1-1704), on top of a broader risk-management duty outside this topic's scope. The operative date slipped twice, to 2026-06-30, and enforcement was stayed by a federal court on 2026-04-27 in X.AI LLC v. Weiser (a stipulated stay on joint motion of xAI and the state, not a merits ruling) after xAI sued and the United States intervened. Before the delayed date arrived, SB 26-189 (signed 2026-05-14) repealed and re-enacted the same Part 17 with a successor framework, effective 2027-01-01; the Colorado General Assembly's own bill summary describes this action as repealing and reenacting Part 17, and multiple law firm summaries of the signed act likewise describe SB 24-205 as repealed. Because it never reached its own operative date before being repealed, this statute was never in_effect at any point. Repealed is authored here in place of the legacy corpus's dead, which is not in the current status vocabulary.
C.R.S. 6-1-1704
Enacted
Effective 2027-01-01
Colorado General Assembly official bill page
Prior to using a covered automated decision-making technology that materially influences a consequential decision (education, employment, housing, financial or lending services, insurance, health care, or essential government services), a deployer must provide a clear and conspicuous notice that it used or will use covered ADMT in that decision, satisfiable by a prominent public notice at points of consumer interaction. If the ADMT produces an adverse outcome, the deployer must, within 30 days, provide a plain-language description of the decision and the technology's role, plus an explanation of the consumer's rights. Signed 2026-05-14; the consumer disclosure duty itself takes effect 2027-01-01, so it is enacted, not yet in_effect, as of this document's as-of date. Reviewer verification against the Colorado General Assembly's own bill status page independently confirms the 2026-05-14 signature date.
