       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.  (1)  The standard time within the state
       except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, is that which is now
       known and designated by act of congress as "United States Mountain
       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 December 1, 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 the ninety-day
       period after final adjournment of the general assembly, then the act, item,
       section, or part shall not take effect unless approved by the people at the
       general election to be held in November 2012 and shall take effect on the
       date of the official declaration of the vote thereon by the governor.
