Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO TIME; SETTING MOUNTAIN DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME AS THE PERMANENT YEAR-ROUND TIME FOR THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO.
AI Summary
This bill sets Mountain Daylight Saving Time as the permanent year-round time for the state of New Mexico. It directs the Governor's office to apply to the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to transfer New Mexico to the Central Time Zone, and upon approval, establishes that the uniform time within the state will be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) minus 6 hours, known as Mountain Daylight Saving Time, to be observed throughout the year. The bill cites the disruption caused by the biannual time changes between Mountain Standard Time and Mountain Daylight Saving Time as the rationale for this change.
