State representative Cathy Kipp, a sponsor of the legislation, said in a statement that while advancements in the neurotechnology field hold great promise for improving the lives of many people, "we must provide a clear framework to protect Coloradans' personal data from being used without their consent while still allowing these new technologies to develop."
The Neurorights Foundation, a non-profit promoting the ethical development of neurotechnology, said Colorado's bill, which it supported, was the first of its kind in the U.S.The Colorado law notes that neuratechnologies used in a clinical setting are already covered by medical privacy laws, so the new measure is aimed at consumer products available outside of a hospital.
