Bill Summary
Currently, "United States Mountain Standard Time" (MST) is the standard time within Colorado, except during the annual period of "daylight saving time" (the second Sunday in March through the first Sunday in November), during which MST is advanced one hour. The bill makes daylight saving time the year-round standard time within the state, but takes effect only: If approved by Colorado voters in the November 2018 general election; and When the other states wholly or partially in the Mountain time zone also adopt permanent daylight saving time for the states or portions thereof within that time zone.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to make daylight saving time the year-round standard time within the state of Colorado, but only if other states in the Mountain Time Zone also adopt year-round daylight saving time. The bill would repeal the existing provision that designates the "United States Mountain Standard Time" as the standard time in Colorado, except during the annual period of daylight saving time. Instead, the bill would establish that the standard time in Colorado throughout the year is one hour later than the current "United States Mountain Standard Time." The bill would take effect only if approved by Colorado voters in the November 2018 general election and when the other states in the Mountain Time Zone also adopt permanent daylight saving time.
