Daylight saving time, exemption
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME – Repeals and adds to existing law to exempt Idaho from daylight saving time.

RS30948C1 / H0584

The proposed legislation would eliminate the twice-yearly switch to Daylight Savings Time, and would take effect in coordination with at least two other neighboring states which are enacting similar legislation. Remaining on Standard Time would reduce numerous health and safety risks associated with changing clocks in spring and fall.

There is no immediate impact on the state's budget.
