Bill > AB81

This bill proposes to exempt the State of Nevada from the federal provisions requiring daylight saving time (DST), which typically involves advancing clocks by one hour from March to November each year. Under current federal law (15 U.S.C. § 260a), states have the option to opt out of DST, and this bill would do exactly that for Nevada. If passed, Nevada would remain on Pacific Standard Time throughout the entire calendar year, meaning clocks would not be changed twice annually as is currently standard practice. Specifically, during the period when most states would normally switch to daylight saving time (from 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of March to 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of November), Nevada would continue to observe standard time based on the solar time of the 120th meridian west of Greenwich. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, giving state and local jurisdictions time to prepare for the change and adjust schedules and systems accordingly.
