Bill Summary
This bill proposes to exempt Vermont from the observance of daylight saving time.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to exempt Vermont from observing daylight saving time. The bill cites findings that the annual change from standard time to daylight saving time can have negative impacts, such as disrupting sleep, increasing health issues, and reducing work productivity. The bill states that under federal law, states located in a single time zone can opt out of daylight saving time. The bill would repeal the existing state law that requires Vermont to observe daylight saving time, and it would take effect once the surrounding states in the Eastern Time Zone also adopt year-round standard time.
