Bill > SB0244

This bill permanently exempts Indiana from observing daylight saving time (DST), effectively keeping the state on standard time year-round. Specifically, the bill allows Indiana to use either Eastern Standard Time or Central Standard Time, depending on the location within the state, in accordance with the Uniform Time Act of 1966. The legislation prohibits any state department, agency, county, city, or political subdivision from implementing or adopting daylight saving time through statutes, ordinances, or orders. The bill requires the governor to send a copy of the act and any necessary documentation to the U.S. Department of Transportation within ten days of filing the act, and this notification requirement will expire on January 1, 2026. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, meaning Indiana will stop changing clocks twice a year and will remain on a consistent standard time throughout the year.
