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.Senate Bill 26-097, which sought to repeal criminal penalties for consensual adult commercial sexual activity and preempt local ordinances, was introduced in February 2026 but postponed indefinitely by the Senate Judiciary Committee in March. Sponsors withdrew support after determining it lacked votes to advance, citing risks to witnesses and insufficient backing amid opposition from law enforcement emphasizing public safety, human trafficking enforcement, and victim protections. No alternative decriminalization measures advanced during the session, which concluded without passage. A separate ballot initiative on stricter penalties for child trafficking remains on the November ballot, reflecting continued legislative focus on related criminal provisions. These developments align with traders assigning high probability that no such bill will become law in 2026.
