Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed a bill protecting transgender individuals' access to gender-affirming health care, countering restrictive policies in other states.

The measure would have required ride-share companies to conduct background checks on their drivers every six months and to allow drivers or riders to request that every trip be recorded.

Gov. Jared Polis has vetoed a bill that was intended to improve safety for rideshare passengers. Uber had threatened to leave if the bill became law.
