SB 596 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Exempts the state of Missouri from the observance of Daylight Saving Time

SB 596 exempts the state of Missouri from observing Daylight Saving Time (DST), meaning Missouri will no longer adjust clocks forward or backward for DST changes. This bill directly affects Missouri's state laws and timekeeping practices, removing the requirement for the state to follow federal DST schedules. The key provision is a simple legislative exemption, not a new policy or mechanism. Missouri residents will continue to follow standard time year-round without the biannual clock changes. (Note: This is a procedural bill; no further policy changes are implemented.)
