# SI safety in Colorado

Colorado's 2024 AI Act was a broad algorithmic discrimination law rather than a frontier SI safety law. Its start was delayed to June 30, 2026, enforcement was paused by a stipulated order in a federal suit brought by xAI and joined by the US government, and the state repealed and replaced it with SB 26-189, a narrower disclosure law for automated decision technology effective January 1, 2027.
