For employers, landlords, and lenders who use screening tools
Colorado AI Act notices, explanations, and human review, in one kit
From January 1, 2027, Colorado SB 26-189 says a business that uses an automated decision-making tool for a consequential decision owes the person four things: a notice before use, a plain language explanation of an adverse outcome within 30 days, a way to correct their data, and review by a person. Records stay on file for three years. California CCPA ADMT rules start the same day. Connecticut follows on October 1, 2027.

The duty sits with the deployer, the business using the tool. It does not sit with the vendor that sold the tool. Law firms sell this work by the hour. ADMT Notice Kit sells it as a self-serve kit: a setup wizard that maps your states and decision types to your duties, notice and explanation documents in plain language, a human review queue, a deadline tracker for the 30-day clock, and one record that proves what was said and when.
What the kit does
01
Setup wizard
Pick your states and decision types (employment, housing, lending, education, other). The kit builds the duty checklist that applies to you from a state rules table with effective dates.
02
Notice and explanation documents
Pre-use notices and adverse-outcome explanations written in plain language from your business details, your tool name, and your review contact. Stored, printable, and downloadable.
03
Human review queue
People who ask for review become cases. Reviewers move each case from requested to in review to decided, with the outcome and notes on the record.
04
Deadline tracker
Each adverse decision opens a 30-day explanation clock for Colorado. The dashboard flags explanations due within 7 days and explanations that are overdue.
05
Hash-chained record log
Every notice, explanation, review step, and export is written to a SHA-256 hash-chained log, the pattern used by Agent Flight Recorder. Editing a past entry breaks the chain, and the kit shows where.
06
Retention export
One file, CSV or JSON, with the full record for a date range. Built for the three-year retention duty in Colorado SB 26-189.

Questions
What does the Colorado AI Act require from a business that uses automated decision tools?
Under Colorado SB 26-189, from January 1, 2027 a deployer owes a pre-use notice, a plain-language explanation of an adverse outcome within 30 days, a correction path, meaningful human review, and records kept for three years.
Who owes the notice, the business or the software vendor?
The deployer owes it: the employer, landlord, or lender using the tool. Per the LexBlog employer ADMT roundup of October 8, 2026, no state lets a vendor claim of human oversight excuse the deployer notice duty.
Is ADMT Notice Kit legal advice?
No. It is a templates and records tool, not legal advice.
When do the California and Connecticut duties start?
California CCPA ADMT compliance begins January 1, 2027. Connecticut notice, purpose, and opt-out duties start October 1, 2027. The Connecticut discrimination rule for automated employment decisions took effect October 1, 2026.
