HB 17-1118
failedExempt State From Daylight Saving Time
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedHouse Bill 17-1118 would change Colorado's time zone so that the state no longer switches to daylight saving time. Instead of advancing clocks by one hour during spring and summer, Colorado would stay on Mountain Standard Time (MST) all year round. This bill affects everyone in Colorado because it changes how we tell time throughout the year. Since the status is "signed," this means the governor has approved the bill, making it a law that will be implemented.
Official Summary
Currently, 'United States Mountain Standard Time' (MST) is the standard time within Colorado, except during the period of daylight saving time (i.e., the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November) when time is advanced one hour. The bill exempts the state from observing daylight saving time, making MST the standard time year-round. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
