South Carolina H3320 would make Eastern Standard Time the permanent standard time in South Carolina.

South Carolina H3320 amends the South Carolina Code to establish Eastern Standard Time as the permanent standard time in South Carolina, prohibiting any future adjustments under state or federal law. The bill acknowledges federal preemption against states changing or advancing time contrary to federal law. It requires the Attorney General to request a waiver from the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to permit this change. If the waiver is not granted, the provisions become null and void ten days after the Secretary of State is notified.
