TO OBSERVE STANDARD TIME YEAR ROUND IN ARKANSAS; AND TO ELIMINATE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IN ARKANSAS.

House Bill 1069 proposes that Arkansas observe standard time year-round, thereby eliminating the practice of daylight saving time. The bill includes a provision requiring the Secretary of State to monitor federal law concerning time observation. If the United States government amends federal law to permanently mandate daylight saving time for states, Arkansas would then observe daylight saving time year-round. The state would revert to year-round standard time if any such federal requirement were later repealed.
