On May 14, 2026, Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed SB 26-189 into law, which repeals and reenacts the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act (“CAIA” or “SB 24-205”) and substantially alters the obligations of employers using AI to make employment-related decisions. This law marks a shift in regulating high-risk artificial intelligence and automated decision-making technology (“ADMT”). SB 26-189 becomes effective on January 1, 2027.
On March 22, 2019, we wrote that the two houses of the Maryland General Assembly had agreed on a conference report adopting the Senate’s version of a bill that would increase the state-wide minimum wage to $15 by 2025 or 2026, depending on the size of the company, with two minor changes.

On Wednesday, the Senate narrowly confirmed John Ring, a management-side labor attorney from Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP, to the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB” or the “Board”). With this vote, Ring fills the last remaining open seat on the Board, which was previously held by former Chairman Philip Miscimarra. Ring’s term will expire on December 16, 2022.
