An act relating to the establishment of year-round U.S. Eastern Daylight Saving Time

This bill proposes to make Vermont observe U.S. Eastern Daylight Saving Time year-round instead of switching between standard time and daylight saving time twice annually. The legislation would amend state law to permanently set the clock one hour ahead of standard time, though it requires U.S. Congress approval to eliminate standard time across all six New England states. The bill includes provisions for the Governor to adjust the time if neighboring states make changes, with a required 10-day notice period before any adjustments take effect. It also specifies that the transition would begin on July 1, 2023, or when federal authorization is granted, whichever comes first.
