H12

Observe Standard Time All Year

Introduced·1/29/25

North Carolina H12 proposes to make the state observe standard time year-round.

North Carolina H12 amends the General Statutes to require the state and its political subdivisions to observe standard time all year. This change aligns with the Uniform Time Act of 1966, which allows states to opt out of daylight saving time. The bill would take effect on March 8, 2026.
