AI Summary

This bill, amending Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 4-1-401, mandates that starting on the second Sunday in March of 2027, Tennessee and its local governments will observe standard time year-round, meaning the state will no longer switch to daylight saving time. Standard time is the official time in a region when daylight saving time is not being observed, and the bill references federal statutes (15 U.S.C. §§ 261-263) that define these time zones. This change aims to establish a consistent time observance throughout the entire year.
