HB 17-1226
failedMake Daylight Saving Time Year-round Standard Time
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedHouse Bill 17-1226 proposes making daylight saving time permanent in Colorado year-round. Currently, Colorado switches between standard time and daylight saving time twice a year. If approved by voters in November 2018 and if neighboring states also adopt this change, Colorado would no longer switch clocks back or forward. The bill is signed but needs voter approval before it can take effect.
Official 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.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
