                           Bill Summary

            Current law identifies United States Mountain Standard Time
       (MST) as the standard time in 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.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 2-4-109, amend (2);
       and repeal (1) as follows:
            2-4-109.  Daylight saving time is year-round 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 is
       one hour in advance of later than the standard time now known and
       designated by act of congress as "United States Mountain Standard
       Time", notwithstanding how that time is advanced pursuant to
       15 U.S.C. sec. 260a.
            SECTION 2.  Effective date. This act takes effect March 8, 2015.
            SECTION 3.  Refer to people under referendum. This act shall
       be submitted to a vote of the registered electors of the state of Colorado
       at the next biennial regular general election, for their approval or
       rejection, under the provisions of the referendum as provided for in
       section 1 of article V of the state constitution, and in article 40 of title 1,
       Colorado Revised Statutes. Each elector voting at said election and
       desirous of voting for or against said act shall cast a vote as provided by
       law either "Yes" or "No" on the proposition: "Shall the state of
       Colorado amend the Colorado Revised Statutes to declare that
       daylight saving time is the standard time within the state,
       year-round?" The votes cast for the adoption or rejection of said act
       shall be canvassed and the result determined in the manner provided by
       law for the canvassing of votes for representatives in Congress.
