Colorado Delays Nation''s First Comprehensive AI Law to June 2026

Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed legislation delaying implementation of SB 205, the nation''s first comprehensive AI regulation law, from February 2026 to June 2026. Technology industry groups had lobbied intensively for the delay, arguing the law''s high-risk AI requirements needed more compliance guidance. Civil rights advocates opposed the delay, warning it left vulnerable communities unprotected from discriminatory automated decision systems in housing, employment, and credit.
