AI Generated Summary
This bill proposes that Minnesota adhere to federal standard time year-round starting in 2025. However, this provision would expire if a federal law is enacted that permits states to adopt "advanced standard time" (effectively permanent daylight saving time). The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 645.071 to ensure all state and local government entities follow federal time regulations, prohibiting any deviation from federal standard or advanced standard time.
