S 5725 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to observing daylight savings time permanently; repealer

This bill (S 5725) would permanently adopt daylight saving time as New York's standard time if Congress amends federal law to allow states to do so. It amends New York's time law to remove the seasonal switch between standard and daylight saving time, making daylight saving time the year-round standard for the entire state and all its political subdivisions. The bill also repeals a specific section of New York City's administrative code related to timekeeping. However, the bill's implementation depends entirely on future federal action - Congress must change 15 U.S.C. § 260a to permit permanent daylight saving time in the eastern time zone.
