Policy Roundup  -  January 2026 (Excerpt)
======================================

1. Colorado AI Act enforcement memo: vendors must furnish bias testing results and written assurances before June 30, 2026. Libraries should log requests + responses for public records.
2. Vendor bundling watch: Two major e-content vendors tying AI copilots to base contracts. Decline the bundle unless indemnity + opt-out language is in writing.
3. Staffing reality: Expect 20 staff hours/quarter to maintain the AI inventory, run basic audits, and update the board packet.

Talking point: "We are not asking for new tech, we\'re asking for documentation so we don\'t inherit a vendor's liability."
