HIGHLIGHTS

On June 2, 2026, Governor Jared Polis (“Governor Polis”) vetoed House Bill 26-1210, titled Concerning Limiting the Use of Intimate Personal Data to Make Inferences that Impact a Person’s Financial Position (the “Bill”), halting what would have been the nation’s first broad statutory ban on the use of “surveillance data” to set individualized prices and wages. In his veto letter, Governor Polis explained that “instead of specifically defining and targeting unethical conduct and practices, the bill takes a broader approach to capture any technology that incidentally influences a price or wage amount.” Employers should not, however, read the veto as the end of Colorado’s interest in regulating automated pricing and wage-setting tools.
