Provide a pre-use notice to the person before the technology is used on them — in plain language, where they will actually see it.
Colorado SB 26-189 · ADMT Act
Colorado's automated decision-making law takes effect January 1, 2027. Is your company ready?
I help Colorado companies prepare for the January 1, 2027 automated decision-making law — and govern their AI properly after it. Fixed prices, working processes, no hourly billing.

days until the ADMT Act takes effect
Effective Friday, January 1, 2027. The Attorney General's implementing rules are due the same day and are not yet final.
Most mid-size companies have not yet inventoried their tools, named an owner for explanations, or set up a human-review path. That is fixable — if you start now.
The deadline your company may not know about
Colorado's SB 26-189, the Automated Decision-Making Technology (ADMT) Act — signed May 14, 2026 — takes effect January 1, 2027. If your company uses software that screens, ranks, or scores people — resume screening, assessments, tenant screening, loan or insurance scoring — then from January 1 you must be able to do four things:
2
Explain adverse decisions in 30 days
After an adverse decision — a rejection, a denial, a lower score — give the person an explanation within 30 days.
3
Allow correction & human review
Give people a way to correct their personal data and request meaningful human review of the decision — with a named owner for each.
4
Keep records for 3 years
Retain the records behind each decision for three years, so an explanation can be produced and defended long after the fact.
Who this is for
Colorado organizations of roughly 100–1,000 employees that use AI or automated tools to make — or help make — decisions about people.
Employers
Credit unions
Community banks
Insurers
Property managers
The tools that count include:
- Hiring — resume screening, candidate ranking, video-interview and skills assessments
- Lending — credit and loan scoring, automated underwriting support
- Insurance — applicant scoring and claims triage tools
- Screening — tenant screening and background-check scoring
Three steps, fixed prices
Start with an assessment, get ready before the deadline, then stay governed as the rules land. No hourly billing — you know the cost before we start.

Why me
Surendra Chauhan — Enterprise AI Architect with 20+ years in enterprise architecture and AI leadership across energy, telecom, and financial services; CISM certified.
I speak both languages in the room: what the tool actually does, and what your company must be able to show. Law firms advise by the hour and do not implement — I deliver the working processes.
This is governance and implementation help, not legal advice. Your attorney reviews the final notices.
One question to ask yourself
"If a rejected applicant asked why — and requested a human review — who would handle that today, and from what records?"
