• Alabama would adopt Daylight Saving Time year-round as the standard time for the entire state and all political subdivisions, contingent upon Congress amending 15 U.S.C. § 260a to authorize states to observe Daylight Saving Time year-round.

• The bill's provisions only take effect if federal law is amended to permit year-round Daylight Saving Time observance.

• The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following passage and approval by the Governor, or upon becoming law through other means.
