Bill > HB1330

This bill, known as the "Entanglement Exception Act," amends Colorado's consumer repair laws to create specific exemptions for quantum computing and quantum sensing equipment. The bill adds two new subsections to existing state statutes that exclude certain quantum devices from the "Consumer Repair Bill of Rights Act" repair requirements. These exemptions cover devices and systems designed to perform quantum information processing, including equipment that manipulates or measures quantum phenomena such as quantum superposition, entanglement, interference, and tunneling. The exemptions apply specifically to devices where these quantum phenomena are integral to the device's primary function, such as quantum sensing devices that detect or monitor physical quantities or environmental parameters using unique quantum properties. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, with a provision allowing for a potential referendum that could delay implementation until approved by voters in the November 2026 election. The purpose appears to be protecting the specialized and sensitive nature of quantum computing and sensing technologies from standard consumer repair regulations.
