State Government - As introduced, beginning on the second Sunday in March of 2027, requires this state and its political subdivisions to observe standard time throughout the year. - Amends TCA Section 4-1-401.

HB 2071 (Tennessee) requires the state and all local governments to observe standard time year-round starting March 2027, ending seasonal clock changes. This amends state law (TCA § 4-1-401) to permanently adopt the federal standard time defined in 15 U.S.C. §§ 261-263. The bill directly affects all state agencies, municipalities, and political subdivisions by eliminating the need to switch clocks for daylight saving time. It takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the first permanent standard time observation beginning March 12, 2027.
