Introduced Text

Missouri HB1685 eliminates Daylight Saving Time, establishing Central Standard Time as the state's standard time.

Missouri HB1685 amends Chapter 1 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section that sets the standard time in Missouri as Central Standard Time. This change rejects Daylight Saving Time, maintaining the state's time as solar time of the ninetieth meridian west of Greenwich. The bill explicitly states that it does not affect federal laws governing interstate commerce or federal time regulations.
