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 decriminalize adult commercial sexual activity by repealing state offenses for prostitution, soliciting, and related activities while preempting local ordinances, was postponed indefinitely by the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 11, 2026, after a 7-0 vote to lay it over until June—effectively killing it for the current session and tilting trader consensus slightly toward "No" at 51.5%. This closely contested market reflects Democratic majorities in both chambers amid the ongoing legislative session ending May 13, leaving slim revival prospects or potential for a companion bill. Proponents could tip odds with rallied support before session deadlines, while Republican opposition and public concerns over trafficking bolster "No," pending any gubernatorial signals from Gov. Polis.
