I've seen a lot of companies "get around" this new law by just saying the job is not available to people living in Colorado, either explicitly on the listing or when you apply.
To follow a tangent for a second, this doesn't seem wise on Colorado's part. It doesn't strike me as great law to begin with, but I'm willing to concede that point: the problem is that it creates a considerable regulatory burden for an all-remote company which takes on a single Colorado employee.
As someone who works remotely since well before the pandemic, I'd be pretty upset about this if I were a Colorado resident. I have family in Colorado as well, and while I've never seriously considered moving there this law makes it even less likely.

A cursory glance[0] suggests this only applies if a company has at least one employee in Colorado.
