HB 1758 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes the "Daylight Saving as New Standard Time Pact"

HB 1758 would permanently adopt daylight saving time as Missouri's standard time, eliminating seasonal clock changes. The bill exempts Missouri from federal daylight saving rules and requires the state to stop observing spring/fall clock shifts after one final transition. It also states Missouri would align with any federal standard if the government later adopts year-round daylight saving. This change directly affects all residents and businesses across Missouri by making daylight saving time the permanent time standard.
