Establishes permanent daylight saving time in NJ.
This bill would require New Jersey to observe daylight saving time year-round if federal law permits it. It affects all residents and businesses in New Jersey by eliminating the biannual clock changes between standard and daylight saving time. The bill amends state law to remove the seasonal time adjustment clause, making daylight saving time the permanent standard. However, it cannot take effect until Congress changes federal law to allow states to adopt year-round daylight saving time.
