relative to abolishing daylight saving time.

HB 1149 would require New Hampshire to stop observing daylight saving time once four neighboring states - Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Maine - have each passed laws to adopt permanent year-round Eastern Standard Time. The bill amends state law by removing current provisions that adjust clocks forward in March and back in November, meaning New Hampshire would remain on Eastern Standard Time year-round if the condition is met. This change would take effect on January 1 of the first year after New Hampshire's secretary of state certifies that all four states have enacted similar legislation. The bill does not set a specific date for implementation but depends entirely on other states' actions.
