Bill Summary
Altering the standard time in the State to be Eastern Daylight Time year-round.
AI Summary
This bill alters the standard time in the state of Maryland to be Eastern Daylight Time year-round. The bill is contingent on a change to federal law (15 U.S.C. 260a) that would allow states to individually observe a year-round standard time consistent with Eastern Daylight Time. The Secretary of State is required to monitor for this federal change and notify the Department of Legislative Services, at which point the Maryland law would take effect on the second Sunday of March or the first Sunday in November after the federal change becomes effective, whichever occurs first. If the federal change is not made by December 31, 2025, the Maryland law will be null and void.
