Colorado ADMT Act (SB 26-189) Indicators
The Colorado ADMT Act (SB 26-189, effective January 1, 2027) requires businesses to disclose when automated decision-making technology is used in consequential decisions affecting consumers. SaaSalyst checks whether your website includes Colorado ADMT transparency indicators.
What SaaSalyst Checks
SaaSalyst scans your page HTML for Colorado ADMT Act-related disclosure language. The scanner looks for indicators of AI interaction disclosure, automated decision-making notices, and Colorado-specific compliance language.
Why This Matters
Colorado repealed its original AI Act (SB 24-205) and replaced it with the Colorado ADMT Act (SB 26-189), a transparency-and-disclosure law for automated decision-making technology used in consequential decisions. It takes effect January 1, 2027.
If your SaaS product uses automated decision-making technology that affects consumers in consequential decisions — employment, credit, housing, education — the Act may require disclosure. It is enforced exclusively by the Colorado Attorney General under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act, with civil penalties up to $20,000 per violation and no private right of action.
Early compliance with state AI laws positions your product as trustworthy and reduces regulatory risk as similar laws are enacted in other states.
How to Fix It
- Review your product's AI features against SB 26-189's definition of automated decision-making technology used in consequential decisions.
- If applicable, add disclosure language informing Colorado consumers when they interact with automated decision-making technology.
- Document your AI transparency practices and make them accessible from your privacy policy or a dedicated AI transparency page.
- Monitor the Colorado Attorney General's guidance ahead of the January 1, 2027 effective date — the AG may allow a 60-day cure period for violations it deems curable.
