AI Summary
This bill seeks to establish permanent standard time within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, exempting it from the federal Uniform Time Act of 1966 that allows for the advancement of time (daylight saving time). The bill specifies that this permanent standard time would apply to all laws, statutes, orders, rules, and regulations related to time, including in public schools, institutions, and contracts within the state. The bill's provisions would only take effect upon enactment of similar legislation in the neighboring states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont, and upon a date agreed upon by all five states.
