Colorado Economic Security & AI Workforce Transition Act -
Colorado is changing fast, and our policies need to keep up. The Colorado Economic Security & AI Workforce Transition Act is a forward-thinking plan to make sure every Coloradan has stability, opportunity, and access to a healthy life as our economy evolves. This bill creates a long-term economic safety foundation — guaranteeing healthcare access through Care Without Fear, preparing workers for the impacts of automation, and lowering everyday costs for families. It also includes the Healthy Colorado Food Policy, which makes nutritious food more affordable, holds large corporations accountable for the junk-food crisis, and reinvests hundreds of millions of dollars each year into healthcare, fresh food access, schools, and Colorado farms. This is about building a Colorado where people come first, families can thrive, and no one is left behind by technological or economic change.
The Colorado Economic Security & AI Workforce Transition Act is about protecting people, not corporations. Colorado families deserve stability, dignity, and a fair shot at the future — no matter how fast technology changes. This bill makes sure no one is left behind by automation, helps workers transition into better jobs, keeps healthcare and healthy food within reach, and puts real resources back into our communities. It’s a promise that Colorado will take care of its people first, always.
