AI Summary

  • Amends Minnesota Statutes section 645.071 to eliminate recognition of "advanced standard time" (daylight saving time), requiring all state and local governments to use only federal standard time year-round

  • Takes effect when clocks would normally "fall back" from daylight saving time to standard time in November 2025

  • Expires automatically if Congress passes legislation allowing states to adopt permanent daylight saving time, at which point Minnesota's 2021 law authorizing year-round advanced standard time would take effect

  • Prohibits state departments, counties, cities, and towns from using any time standard other than federal standard time while the law is in effect
