Urges Congress to repeal the Uniform Time Act of 1966, which requires states to advance clocks one hour from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.

Cites research showing that clock changes increase heart attacks, strokes, and traffic accidents while decreasing workplace productivity.

Notes that only two states currently exempt themselves from daylight saving time to stay on standard time year-round, while at least eight states have adopted laws to stay on daylight saving time if federal law permits.

Argues that inconsistent time systems between states create confusion and inconvenience for residents and businesses, undermining the federal law's intent to establish uniform time.

Directs copies of the memorial be sent to state secretaries of state, state legislators, Congress, and Colorado's congressional delegation.
