                           Bill Summary
       
            (Note:  This summary applies to this bill as introduced and does
       not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted.  If this bill

            Current law states that "United States Mountain Standard Time"
       is the standard time within the state, except for the period of daylight
       saving time between the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in
       November, which is one hour in advance of "United States Mountain
       Standard Time".
            The bill makes daylight saving time the year-round standard time
       within the state.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  2-4-109 (1) and (2), Colorado Revised Statutes, are
       amended to read:
            2-4-109.  Standard time within the state.  (1)  The standard time
       within the state except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, is
       shall be one hour in advance of the standard time that which is

       Standard Time".
            (2)  From two o'clock antemeridian on the second Sunday of
       March, until two o'clock antemeridian on the first Sunday of November,
       or such other times and days as may, from time to time, be designated by
       act of congress, the standard time in this state so established shall be one
       hour in advance of the standard time now known as "United States
       Mountain Standard Time".
            SECTION 2.  Act subject to petition - effective date.  This act
       shall take effect at 12:01 a.m. on the day following the expiration of the
       ninety-day period after final adjournment of the general assembly (August
       10, 2011, if adjournment sine die is on May 11, 2011); except that, if a
       referendum petition is filed pursuant to section 1 (3) of article V of the
       state constitution against this act or an item, section, or part of this act
       within such period, then the act, item, section, or part shall not take effect
