In Colorado it is 2500lbs commercial, 3500lbs private with the provesion that there is no minimum if it can affect the tow vehicle.
Example..... class I on a small to medium size car (2000lb trailer) max weight.
2000Lbs pushing in an emergency stop will affect the tow vehicles ability to stop.... therefore on smaller/medium vehicles towing almost any trailer means brakes are almost mandatory. The same size trailer behind a 1 ton dually truck would be ok without trailer brakes.
