Senate Bill 26-097, which sought to repeal criminal penalties for consensual adult commercial sexual activity and preempt local ordinances, was introduced by Democratic sponsors in February 2026 but postponed indefinitely by the Senate Judiciary Committee in March after sponsors determined it lacked sufficient support. The Colorado General Assembly adjourned sine die in May without advancing the measure, and no special session has been called to revisit it. Strong opposition from law enforcement officials, including public statements highlighting concerns over human trafficking enforcement and community safety tools, contributed to the bill’s early halt. With the 2026 legislative calendar closed and no viable procedural path remaining, trader consensus reflects a high implied probability that no such decriminalization bill will become law this year.
