S 7982 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to eliminating daylight saving time; repealer

Bill S 7982 aims to eliminate daylight saving time throughout the state. It amends the general construction law to establish the seventy-fifth meridian of longitude west from Greenwich as the permanent standard time, effectively exempting the state from federal daylight saving time provisions. The bill prohibits state and local government agencies from adopting or using any other standard of time. These changes, which also include conforming amendments to other state and city laws, are set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
