However, Governor Polis also vetoed one bill, SB25-086, known as Protections for Users of Social Media. This bill, sponsored by Senators Lisa Frizell and Lindsey Daugherty, along with Representatives Andrew Boesenecker and Anthony Hartsook, aimed to hold social media platforms accountable for enforcing state laws. In his veto letter, Governor Polis stated that this bill would "incentivize platforms...to simply deplatform a user in order to comply with this proposed law."

Overall, these new laws reflect Colorado's commitment to protecting healthcare freedoms and privacy while also promoting access to reproductive care. With these measures in place, Colorado continues to lead with compassion and courage in safeguarding the rights of its citizens.
