Vermont H0538 proposes to establish year-round U.S. Eastern Standard Time in Vermont.

Vermont H0538 seeks to amend the state's standard time to be based on U.S. Eastern Standard Time year-round, except for daylight saving time. The bill authorizes the Governor to adjust the time to match neighboring states. The transition to year-round U.S. Eastern Standard Time will occur on January 1 following similar enactments in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York. The bill cites findings that standard time is more beneficial for health, safety, and productivity.
