Bill > A10571

This bill establishes daylight saving time as the year-round standard time for both the state and the city of New York, meaning the clocks will no longer be set back in the fall. It amends existing laws to reflect this change, referencing federal statutes (15 USC sections 260 to 267 and 260a) that govern time zones and daylight saving time. The bill specifies that this year-round observance of daylight saving time, commonly known as Eastern Daylight Time, will only take effect if federal law permits it. Furthermore, this legislation will only become law if neighboring states like Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania also enact identical laws, otherwise, it will take effect immediately upon passage if those states have already done so.
