Bill > HB1610

This bill proposes to alter the standard time in the state of Maryland to be Eastern Daylight Time year-round. The change is contingent on the federal government amending the Uniform Time Act (15 U.S.C. 260a) to allow states to observe a year-round standard time consistent with Eastern Daylight Time. The Secretary of State is required to monitor the federal government's action and notify the Department of Legislative Services once the federal change is made. If the federal change occurs by December 31, 2025, this bill's provisions will take effect on the second Sunday of March or the first Sunday in November, whichever comes first. If the federal change does not occur by the end of 2025, this bill will be null and void.
