Daylight saving time; observe year-round if federal law is amended to allow it.

HB 45 would have made Mississippi observe daylight saving time year-round if federal law changed to allow states to do so. It would have taken effect on July 1, 2025, for all Mississippi residents and government operations. The bill’s key provision was conditional: it would only activate if Congress amended federal law (15 U.S.C. § 260a) to permit year-round daylight saving time. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
