Introduced Text

Pennsylvania bill proposes observing daylight saving time year-round if Congress authorizes it.

The bill amends the 1887 Pennsylvania law establishing a uniform standard of time, proposing that if Congress authorizes states to observe daylight saving time year-round, Pennsylvania would adopt this practice. Currently, Pennsylvania observes daylight saving time from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. The bill also prohibits local governments from setting different time standards. This change would take effect 60 days after the bill's enactment.
