Senate Bill 26-097, introduced by Democratic lawmakers in February 2026 to repeal criminal penalties for consensual adult commercial sexual activity and preempt local prohibitions, advanced briefly before facing unified committee opposition over enforcement, trafficking risks, and local authority. Sponsors acknowledged insufficient support, leading to indefinite postponement in March and no further movement in the regular session. With the 2026 legislative calendar advanced and no special session called, trader sentiment reflects a narrow edge for failure amid the bill’s stalled status. A revived measure, floor vote reversal, or unrelated proposal reaching the governor before year-end could shift probabilities, while sustained committee inaction or session end would reinforce the current balance.
