An Act relating to daylight saving time; and providing for an effective date.

HB 41 proposes that Alaska observe daylight saving time year-round (advancing time by one hour) instead of switching between standard and daylight saving time. This change would only take effect if Congress amends federal law by December 31, 2031, to permit states to use year-round daylight saving time. If federal law changes, the bill would implement the year-round time adjustment on the first Sunday in November following the federal law's effective date, or the following year if the federal change occurs after October 1. The bill does not change current time practices but prepares Alaska for potential future federal authorization.
