You’re going to hate this news on the second Sunday in March, when the clock springs forward and you have to get up an hour earlier for work. House Bill 1118 to exempt Colorado from daylight saving time was shelved Wednesday morning before it could be heard by the House Agriculture Committee.

Instead, sponsors Dan Pabon, D-Denver, and Phil Covarrubias, R-Brighton, hope to bring back another bill this year or next to make it daylight saving time all year long in Colorado – in other words, no springing forward or falling back.

“We had a tremendous amount of support not necessarily for House Bill 1118 but for the idea that Colorado should stay with one time zone year round,” Pabon said. “I think that is a very wise conclusion that many of our constituents have come to.

“What that default should be is debatable.”

He added, “I think we’ve struck a nerve in Colorado because there are so many folks around the state who support keeping the disruption away from their lives. People have enough to deal with already.”

Several industries are concerned about disruptions. The ski resorts say changing away from the extra hour of morning sunlight that’s gained from standard time each November would push back the daily avalanche and other safety checks, delaying when skiers could get on the slopes.

In 2015 a Lakewood couple, Sean and Teri Johnson, tried to get year-round daylight saving time on the Colorado ballot and failed.

In 2011, then-Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, tried and failed to pass legislation to allow Coloradans to stop changing their clocks in March and November. In 2013, Brophy tried, unsuccessfully, to refer a question to the ballot.

Also in 2013, then-Rep. Ed Vigil, D-Fort Garland, tried a bill to take Colorado off daylight saving time.

U.S. retailers and manufacturers, aided by the the country’s entry into World War I, adopted daylight saving time in 1918.

When Congress passed the Uniform Time Act of 1966, states were allowed to opt out of daylight saving time, but only Arizona, Hawaii and Indiana did, except for 16 counties in Indiana and the Navajo reservation in Arizona. The rest of Indiana began using daylight saving time after a legislative struggle in 2006.
