Eliminate Daylight Savings time in WV
HB 2546 would eliminate West Virginia's observance of daylight saving time by permanently adopting Eastern Standard Time (EST) as the state's official time, effective July 1, 2025. This change would apply to all public schools, colleges, state agencies, and local governments, removing the need for biannual clock adjustments. The bill amends existing law to replace the current daylight saving time schedule with a fixed EST schedule, meaning the state would no longer advance or reset clocks in spring or fall. As a result, West Virginia would remain on EST year-round without seasonal time changes.
