AI Summary
This bill aims to establish Eastern Daylight Time as the year-round standard time in the state of Maryland. The bill is contingent on the federal government amending the relevant law to allow states to observe a year-round standard time consistent with Eastern Daylight Time. The Maryland Secretary of State is required to monitor federal action on this issue and notify the Department of Legislative Services once the necessary change is made. If the federal change occurs by December 31, 2028, the new year-round Eastern Daylight Time standard will take effect in Maryland 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 2028, the bill will become null and void without further action by the General Assembly.
