Bill > HB284

This bill proposes to eliminate daylight saving time in the state of Alaska. It amends existing state law to keep Alaska on Alaska Standard Time throughout the calendar year, without observing the one-hour advance associated with daylight saving time. The bill includes a provision that requires the state attorney general to notify the revisor of statutes if federal law is amended to allow the state to observe daylight saving time year-round. Additionally, the bill's provisions are contingent on the U.S. Congress amending federal law by December 31, 2031 to permit states to observe daylight saving time all year, and the effective date of the changes would be the first Sunday in November following the federal law change, or the following year if the federal law change occurs after October 1.
