Bill > HB3593

This bill establishes Central Standard Time as the official standard time for Oklahoma, meaning the state will no longer observe Daylight Saving Time, which is the practice of advancing clocks by one hour during warmer months. The bill clarifies that this change does not affect federal regulations concerning interstate commerce or the timing of federal government actions. It explicitly states that Oklahoma is opting out of the federal Daylight Saving Time provision, as permitted by the Uniform Time Act of 1966, and reserves the right for future legislative action to alter this decision. This act is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
