Colorado governor signs SB 26-189, revising AI Act to regulate ADMT in employment

On May 14, 2026, Colorado Governor signed SB 26-189, repealing and replacing the 2024 Artificial Intelligence Act. The new law, effective January 1, 2027, targets automated decision‑making technology (ADMT) that materially influences consequential employment decisions. It requires deployers to notify individuals before use, disclose decisions within 30 days of an adverse outcome, and provide rights to correction, appeal, and human review.

Why it matters: The law creates new notice, disclosure, and remediation obligations for employers using AI in hiring, promotion, and termination decisions.
