Bill Summary

Create a new section of KRS Chapter 2 to exempt the Commonwealth of Kentucky from the advancement of time known as daylight saving time; require the Commonwealth of Kentucky and its political subdivisions to at all times observe the standard time of the United States; EFFECTIVE October 31, 2026.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to exempt the Commonwealth of Kentucky from observing daylight saving time, which is the practice of advancing clocks by one hour during warmer months to make better use of daylight. Instead, Kentucky and its local governments would permanently observe the standard time of the United States, as defined by federal law (specifically, 15 U.S.C. secs. 261 to 263), and would not implement the yearly clock change. This change is set to take effect on October 31, 2026.
