A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 1-08 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to requiring the state to observe daylight saving time year round; to repeal section 40-01-20 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to daylight saving time; and to provide a contingent effective date.

This bill updates North Dakota's official time zone standards to align with current geographic realities. The central time zone standard was changed from five hours behind Greenwich time to six hours, and the mountain time zone standard was changed from six hours to seven hours behind Greenwich time. These corrections reflect the actual longitude of the state's time zone boundaries rather than outdated calculations.
