Bill > HB2092

This bill proposes to change Missouri's approach to daylight saving time (DST), stipulating that on November 1, 2026, the state will set clocks back to standard time and will no longer participate in DST afterward. However, the bill includes an important caveat that if the federal government adopts daylight saving time as the new standard time, Missouri will adjust its clocks to conform with this federal standard. This legislation represents a potential move away from the current practice of switching between standard time and daylight saving time twice a year, which has been criticized for potential negative health and economic impacts. The bill provides a specific future date for implementation and allows for flexibility based on potential changes in federal law, ensuring that the state's timekeeping remains aligned with broader national standards.
