Why we checked itA claim about the speaker's own bill and a quoted statement by the governor; checkable in the record and news coverage.
What we foundBaisley did sponsor SB25B-008 in the August 2025 special session, a bill applying existing anti-discrimination law to AI, which matches how he described it; it did not pass. No public record shows whether Governor Polis worked closely with him on it or said he wished it had passed.
