Relating to: eliminating daylight saving time in Wisconsin.
Senate Bill 165 proposes to eliminate daylight saving time permanently in Wisconsin. If enacted, Wisconsin would remain on standard time year-round, meaning clocks would no longer be adjusted forward in spring or backward in fall. The bill also modifies closing hours for licensed establishments, removing the special 3:30 a.m. closing time that currently occurs on the Sunday when daylight saving time begins. This change would affect all individuals and businesses in Wisconsin by standardizing the time throughout the year.
