Introduced Text

Michigan SB0126 proposes to exempt the state from daylight saving time, pending voter approval in the 2026 election.

Michigan SB0126 seeks to exempt the entire state, including all political subdivisions, from observing daylight saving time. This bill, if approved by a majority of Michigan voters in the November 3, 2026 general election, would make Michigan exempt from the practice of advancing clocks by one hour in spring and back in fall. The act will not take effect unless approved by voters and will be presented to them as required by Michigan election law. If approved, the act would become effective 30 days after the official declaration of the election results.
