Governor Polis signed the Colorado AI Act with reservations, warning it creates a complex compliance regime that could hamper innovation, urging sponsors to significantly improve it before it takes effect, and calling on Congress to enact preemptive federal AI legislation.?

Context: A signing-statement opinion and call for federal action, not a scored factual claim. In hindsight it cuts both ways: Polis did get the revision he sought — after xAI's suit, the DOJ intervention and a 27 April 2026 court suspension, he signed SB 26-189 on 14 May 2026, narrowing the Act before it took effect — but it took two years and a federal lawsuit, not one session, and Congress never supplied the preemptive statute he wanted; the pressure came from the executive branch instead. Unresolved.
