SC H3325

Advances Eastern Standard Time by one hour beginning at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday of March 2025, making this the permanent standard time in South Carolina with no further seasonal adjustments

Requires the South Carolina Attorney General to request a waiver from the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to permit year-round daylight saving time

Nullifies the entire article if the federal waiver is not granted, with provisions becoming void 10 days after the Attorney General notifies the Secretary of State that the waiver was denied

Acknowledges federal preemption on time changes but argues South Carolina may advance time since states lying wholly within one time zone can exempt themselves from daylight saving time under 15 U.S.C. 260a(a)
