Colorado Governor Signs Transgender Bill Into Law

  • Governor Jared Polis signed Colorado House Bill 1312 into law on Friday in Denver quietly, opting not to make a public statement or conduct a formal ceremony.
  • The bill followed a legislative session in which it passed on May 6 after input from over 500 transgender Coloradans and amid conservative and LGBTQ+ group concerns.
  • The law expands antidiscrimination protections by addressing deadnaming and misgendering, requiring use of chosen names, and easing gender changes on official documents.
  • The bill passed with votes of 36-20 in the House and 20-14 in the Senate, and Z Williams called the Kelly Loving Act a 'beacon of hope' for trans people nationwide.
  • The legislation's immediate provisions aim to protect transgender Coloradans, while more complex name and gender changes take effect in October 2026, reflecting ongoing efforts to secure trans rights.
