Bill Summary

An Act relating to daylight saving time; and providing for an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to keep the state of Alaska on daylight saving time throughout the calendar year, rather than switching between standard time and daylight saving time twice a year. The bill specifies that the state will observe Alaska standard time as indicated under federal law, but advanced by one hour, effectively keeping the state on daylight saving time all year. The bill also requires the state's Attorney General to notify the Revisor of Statutes if federal law is amended to allow states to observe daylight saving time year-round, and the bill's provisions will only take effect if Congress passes such a law by December 31, 2031. If the federal law is passed, the changes in this bill will take effect on the first Sunday in November following the effective date of the federal law, or the following year if the federal law takes effect after October 1.
