Bill > SB534

This bill establishes the "Daylight Saving as New Standard Time Pact," which aims to permanently change how Missouri handles daylight saving time. Under the proposed legislation, Missouri would exempt itself from the federal daylight saving time provisions (found in 15 U.S.C. Section 260a) and make daylight saving time its new standard time. Specifically, the state would switch clocks to daylight saving time one final time, after which this time would become the new standard time, effectively eliminating the practice of changing clocks twice a year. The bill includes flexibility for potential future federal actions: if the federal government continues to enforce the current daylight saving time rules, Missouri would observe standard time, and if the federal government adopts daylight saving time as the new national standard, Missouri would adjust its clocks accordingly. This legislation is part of a broader movement to end the biannual time changes that many argue are disruptive to sleep patterns and daily routines.
