DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME – Repeals and adds to existing law to exempt the State of Idaho from Daylight Saving Time.

Idaho's H 140 bill repeals existing daylight saving time rules and creates two new exemptions: one for the Mountain Time Zone portion of Idaho (most of the state) and another for the Pacific Time Zone portion (a small western area). The bill directly affects Idaho residents in these regions by exempting them from changing clocks twice yearly for daylight saving time. Key provisions require Idaho to follow any future federal law mandating permanent daylight saving time, while the state will otherwise remain on permanent standard time. This policy change aims to eliminate the biannual clock shifts that the legislature cites as disruptive to health, safety, and daily routines.
