New Jersey S3236 would establish permanent daylight saving time in New Jersey if the federal government allows states to do so.

New Jersey S3236 would require the state to observe daylight saving time year-round if the federal government authorizes states to do so. Currently, federal law prohibits states from observing daylight saving time year-round. The bill cites studies showing that the biannual time change between Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Daylight Time is disruptive to commerce and public health. The bill would amend state law to require New Jersey to remain on Eastern Daylight Time year-round if federal law changes to allow it.
