Colorado Gov. Polis vetoes three progressive bills on privacy, arbitration, and takeout waste

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis vetoed three progressive bills: HB26-1210 to curb using personal data for price and wage setting—deemed too broad and redundant with a new AI-disclosure law; a proposal to reform arbitration, criticized as vague and likely to push more disputes into litigation; and a measure banning automatic plastic utensils in restaurants, with Polis saying localities should decide such policies. Democrats say they’ll reintroduce some ideas next year.
