Colorado adopts final rules on ADMT and chatbot safety following the October 26, 2026 comment deadline.
Colorado's public comment period closes October 26, 2026. The item resolves when state regulators publish the final text of the automated decision rules.
Across 6 frontier models answering independently, the panel leans yes: the median is 65%.
They do not agree: Gemini puts it at 81% and Claude at 32%, 49 points apart. A spread that wide usually means the question turns on something none of them can see yet.
Nothing is settled until 1 Apr 2027, when the outcome is checked against sources and every number above gets a permanent score.

The Colorado AG usually finalizes CPA rules within five months of comment closure, leaving plenty of room before April 2027.
- Colorado's AG must publish final rules; the five-month span from Oct 26 to April 1 mirrors the timeline of original CPA rulemaking.
- Rule adoption needs no legislative vote, only AG sign-off following required review of comments submitted by October 26.
- A formal extension of the comment period or major industry litigation pausing rulemaking would drop these odds below 50%.

AG must finish post-comment review and publish by 1 Apr 2027.
- Colorado AG must process Oct 26 comments, hold any hearing, and file final ADMT/chatbot text under the APA.
- State AI-rulemakings after comment typically close in 3–5 months; five months to April sits at the high end of that range.
- A flood of comments, a requested extension, or litigation would most delay publication past the resolution date.

It hinges on whether Colorado completes legal review and publication within five months of comments closing.
- Colorado’s AG or designated rulemaking body must review comments, finalize text, and publish rules after October 26.
- Five months is workable for an already-noticed package, but substantive ADMT/chatbot comments can trigger revisions or delay.
- I would raise this if the agency sets a hearing or adoption date before the comment period closes.

Whether Colorado's AG finishes the ADMT rulemaking package before the April 1 window closes.
- The comment period closes Oct 26, 2026, leaving roughly five months for the AG's office to review comments and publish final rules.
- Colorado's SB 24-205 rulemaking has been on a steady statutory track, and the AG has already issued draft rules, so the base rate for on-time finalization is decent.
- The main risk is litigation or legislative delay tied to the underlying AI act's effective date, which could push final publication past April 1.

Hinges on whether Colorado AG/CDOR finalizes ADMT rules within ~5 months of the Oct 26, 2026 comment close.
