Bill > LD885

This bill aims to adopt Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) as the standard time for the State of Maine year-round. The key provisions are as follows: (1) The standard time for the State will be EDT if federal law permits year-round observation of EDT and all states in the Eastern time zone and the District of Columbia observe EDT year-round. (2) The Secretary of State will monitor whether these conditions are met and provide public notice when they are. (3) Once the conditions are met, year-round EDT will take effect, either immediately if Maine is already observing EDT or on the next start date of EDT.
