This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Decriminalize Adult Commercial Sexual Activity bill (SB26-097) (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb26-097) is passed by both chambers of the Colorado General Assembly and becomes law by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The primary resolution source is official information from the government of Colorado; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.SB 26-097, which sought statewide decriminalization of consensual adult commercial sexual activity and preemption of local ordinances, was introduced in February 2026 but postponed indefinitely by the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 11 after sponsors determined it lacked sufficient votes. The measure died for the session, with lawmakers citing insufficient support and risks to advocates during hearings. Law enforcement officials, including El Paso County Sheriff Joseph Roybal, have continued opposing similar reforms into August 2026 through public statements emphasizing public safety tools against trafficking and exploitation. No alternative legislation has advanced to passage, aligning trader consensus on the low likelihood of enactment by year-end.
