The Joint Technology Committee deferred action on both Judicial Department budget requests — an IT infrastructure operating request and a case management capital request — after members raised unresolved questions connecting those requests to SB 24-205 AI compliance costs; the committee also declined to vote on OIT's statewide AI compliance budget request amid sharp skepticism from multiple members that the $5 million price tag was being used to undermine the law it was meant to implement.

Rep./Senator Titone accused OIT of using the $5 million price tag to make SB 24-205 appear too costly and thus dispensable, stating: 'my interpretation of what I'm seeing in this chain of events is that this is to kind of make 205 be out to this thing that's going to cost the state all this money that we can't have 205 anymore and we need to get rid of it.' Titone also noted the committee was told 'we don't know' when it asked where the $5 million figure came from after the special session. Director Edinger did not directly rebut this characterization but offered to do further analysis.

What is the things that apply, what are the consequential decisions that apply to the systems being used? There's so much muddy water here that I don't see anything clear in what you're trying to ask for in this request.”
