The original Colorado AI Act (SB 24-205, May 2024) was repealed via SB 26-189 in May 2026. The replacement regime takes effect January 2027, focused on Automated Decision-Making Technology that makes consequential decisions about Coloradans in employment, lending, housing, education, and healthcare.

Colorado SB 26-189 Ready
ADMT focus, consequential-decision triggers, deployer impact assessment workflows.
California Coverage
SB 53 high-risk AI auditing + AB 2013 GenAI training-data transparency.
Texas TRAIGA Aligned
Broader AI governance obligations covering state-agency + private-sector AI use.
Cross-State Evidence
One inventory + one assessment base - state-specific overlays where rules diverge.
New State Absorbing
Next state regime added to library centrally - no per-customer rebuild required.
Federal Cross-Reference
Cross-linked to NIST AI RMF page for federal-contractor obligations.
Colorado today, the next state law tomorrow - without rebuilding your programme each time.
The US state AI compliance landscape - state by state
Five state regimes shape the current US state AI compliance picture, with several more in active legislative motion:
Colorado SB 26-189 (effective January 2027). The replacement law for the original Colorado AI Act (SB 24-205, repealed via SB 26-189). Focuses on Automated Decision-Making Technology (ADMT) - AI systems making consequential decisions about Coloradans (employment, lending, housing, education, healthcare). Obligations: deployer impact assessments, consumer notice, opt-out rights, algorithmic discrimination protections.
California SB 53 (in force). Adds AI auditing requirements for high-risk AI systems used in consequential decisions, with annual reporting obligations and CA Civil Rights Department oversight.
California AB 2013 (in force). Generative AI training-data transparency - covered generative AI developers must publish summaries of training data used. Targets foundation model providers + GenAI vendors selling into California.
Texas TRAIGA (effective 2026). Texas Responsible AI Governance Act - broader AI governance obligations covering AI systems deployed by state agencies and certain private-sector deployments. Includes algorithmic transparency, consumer protections, and AI risk assessment requirements.
Emerging landscape. Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, and others have introduced AI-related provisions through consumer protection law, employment law, or sector-specific regulations. The pattern is fragmentation - each state framing the problem differently, with limited cross-state coordination.

|---|---|---|---|

Texas TRAIGA | Broader AI governance | 2026 | State agency + certain private-sector AI |
Federal Take It Down Act | Non-consensual intimate imagery | 19 May 2026 | Federal - applies in all states |
