SB165,1,3
1
An Act
to repeal
175.095;
to amend
125.32 (3) (a), 125.68 (4) (c) 1. and
2
990.001 (12) of the statutes;
relating to:
eliminating daylight saving time in
3
Wisconsin.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill eliminates daylight saving time. Current law defines standard time and provides that daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and ends at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November of each year.
Federal law generally preempts states from deviating from standard time or eliminating daylight saving time, but federal law allows a state that lies entirely in one timezone, such as Wisconsin, to observe standard time instead of daylight saving time as long as the observation is throughout the entire state.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SB165,1
