Bill Summary

Altering the standard time in the State to be Eastern Daylight Time year-round; making the Act contingent on a change to federal law; and requiring the Secretary of State to monitor action by the federal government.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to establish Eastern Daylight Time as the year-round standard time in the state of Maryland, contingent on a change to federal law (15 U.S.C. 260a) that would allow states to observe a year-round standard time consistent with Eastern Daylight Time. The Secretary of State is required to monitor federal action on this change and notify the Department of Legislative Services if the federal change is made by December 31, 2027. If the federal change occurs, the bill 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 does not occur by the end of 2027, the bill would become null and void.
