United States of America: Bill on Artificial Intelligence Consumer Protections (SB25-318) including user protections was introduced to Colorado Senate

On 28 April 2025, the Bill on Artificial Intelligence Consumer Protections (SB25-318) was introduced to the Colorado Senate, proposing expanded rights for consumers subject to high-risk AI systems. The Bill would clarify the rights of individuals affected by consequential decisions made or substantially influenced by such systems, including the right to receive clear explanations of the decision-making process. It would limit appeal rights to exclude adverse decisions that are time-limited or competitive, but still requires deployers to provide consumers with timely, accessible, and relevant information when adverse decisions occur. Furthermore, if a developer or deployer withholds information otherwise subject to disclosure, they must state the reason, cite the legal basis, and disclose all non-exempt information. These provisions affect transparency and procedural fairness in automated decisions relating to employment, housing, credit, and other significant consumer outcomes.
