Gov. Polis is one of the most effective governors in the US overall (handled COVID-19 threats to disease and economic risk better than every governor, IMO) and someone who understands technology. He co-founded two tech companies and exited both for nine figures each time.

My guess is that Polis likely helped shepard this bill along.

EDIT:

Gov. Polis also signed the first right to repair law for wheelchairs in 2022.
