Went to the capitol today to meet Sen Ball, Rep Paschal, Rep Ricks, and three additional Denver constituents with concerns about SB26-051's effect on open source software, privacy, and security.

It was an hour and a half meeting that could have gone longer if it weren't for the building being shut down.

Our concerns were heard and shared. The next step is exchanging and discussing specific language changes to the bill including an exemption for open source software.

@pez23 thank you for writing in. My impression is that they are being read and considered even if there wasn't a response.

@carlrichell Do you have an idea of who is behind the push for these laws? It seemed odd that so many jurisdictions happened to take up this legislation at the same moment. There must be some group or organization pushing this but I never understood who or why.
