HF 66 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act establishing daylight saving time as the official time in this state throughout the year.

HF 66 would make daylight saving time the permanent standard time in Iowa, eliminating the current biannual clock change. The bill amends state code to state that daylight saving time (central time) is the official time year-round, removing the seasonal adjustment period from April to October. This change would affect all Iowa residents, businesses, and organizations that rely on standardized time for daily operations, scheduling, and coordination. The bill does not alter Iowa's time zone but establishes the current summer time as the continuous standard.
