AI Summary

  • Kansas would stop observing daylight saving time starting at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday of November 2025, becoming exempt from federal DST provisions under 15 U.S.C. § 260a(a)

  • The exemption would automatically end if Missouri enacts a similar law exempting itself from daylight saving time, with the Kansas Secretary of State required to monitor and publish notice of such enactment

  • If Congress passes a law requiring year-round central daylight saving time, Kansas would transition to permanent daylight saving time instead of remaining on standard time

  • The Secretary of State must monitor federal legislation and publish notices in the Kansas Register when triggering conditions are met

  • Federal time requirements for interstate commerce, U.S. government operations, and matters under federal jurisdiction are not affected by the state's time change

Legislative Description
