LD4

An Act to Adopt Eastern Standard Time Year-round

Failed·6/10/25
Tpdf Text

Maine LD4 would establish Eastern Standard Time as the year-round standard time for the state.

Maine LD4 amends the state's standard time to Eastern Standard Time year-round, contingent on federal law permitting such observation and all eastern time zone states and the District of Columbia also observing it year-round. The Secretary of State would monitor these conditions and issue a public notice upon fulfillment. The bill also modifies the exemption for lobster trap hauling during certain hours from June 1st to August 31st.
