AI Generated Summary
The bill proposes that Minnesota recognize federal standard time year-round starting in 2025. However, this provision will expire once federal law allows states to adopt advanced standard time (commonly referred to as permanent daylight saving time). The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 645.071 to ensure all references to time in state law align with federal standard time or advanced standard time and prohibits state and local government entities from using or adopting any other time standard.
