This week the Colorado Chamber’s Technology Alliance met to discuss proposals being considered in the 2025 special session and took positions on four introduced bills that address the implementation of Senate Bill 24-205 regarding artificial intelligence.
HB25B-1008: Amend
The bill requires artificial intelligence systems to comply with the Colorado Consumer Protection Act and the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, and requires a developer or a deployer to disclose to consumers when they are interacting with an AI system rather than a human in certain circumstances. The Alliance took an “amend” position due to concerns regarding the language surrounding the responsibilities of the developer and deployer.
SB25B-004: Amend
The bill repeals the consumer protection provisions from SB24-205 and defines “algorithmic decision system.” The bill also establishes disclosure requirements for developers and deployers, requires notification when individuals interact with AI, and allows enforcement under Colorado’s consumer protection laws.
The Alliance took an “amend” position on the bill due to concerns with the broad scope of the bill and certain unclear definitions. The Chamber would like the bill amended to have a later effective date for disclosure, giving employers more time to prepare for these substantial changes to the law.
HB25B-1009: Monitor
The bill narrows the definition of “consequential decision” established in SB 24-205 to only include decisions related to employment or public safety. The bill also delays the effective date to August 1, 2027, and exempts certain small businesses and local governments.
SB25B-008: Monitor
The bill repeals the consumer protection provisions from SB24-205 as anti-discrimination protections for interactions with AI systems are already established under existing Colorado law.
