US EditionGov. Polis reflects on legislative wins and losses despite Democratic control
- After 120 days in Denver, Colorado lawmakers concluded their 2025 session on Wednesday night, passing close to 500 bills despite ongoing demands for a special session.
- Lawmakers faced an impasse over first-in-the-nation AI regulations and anticipated federal funding cuts that pressured budget and policy decisions this session.
- A late effort to delay AI regulations set to take effect February 1, 2026, was filibustered and ultimately failed despite endorsements from Gov. Jared Polis and other Democrats.
- Rep. William Lindstedt sought to delay AI rules nearly a year to protect jobs and school workers, while Senate Majority Leader Robert Rodriguez promoted light enforcement to support businesses.
- The failure to delay AI regulations leaves their February 1 implementation likely unless a special session is called, which Governor Polis said depends on federal funding decisions.
