SF 2403 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Recognition provision of federal standard time year-round beginning in 2025 and expiring upon enactment of a federal law authorization states to recognize advanced standard time year-round

This bill requires Minnesota state government entities - including departments, counties, cities, and towns - to use federal standard time year-round starting in 2025, aligning with federal law. It modifies Minnesota Statutes to ensure all state laws reference federal standard time or advanced standard time (daylight saving time), prohibiting local time variations. The provision expires when federal law permits states to permanently adopt advanced standard time year-round. It directly affects how state operations and laws reference time, with no immediate cost or new authority for local governments.
