In one paragraph
Not law. Colorado's HB 25B-1009, introduced in the August 2025 extraordinary session, would have amended the Colorado AI Act (SB 24-205). It would have narrowed 'consequential decision' to employment and public safety decisions, delayed the effective date from February 1, 2026 to August 1, 2027, and exempted businesses with fewer than 250 employees or under $5 million in annual revenue and local governments with fewer than 100,000 residents. The House Business Affairs & Labor Committee postponed it indefinitely 8-4 on August 21, 2025.
