The bill proposes to exempt the state of Alaska from observing daylight saving time, which is the practice of advancing clocks during warmer months. It introduces a new section to the Alaska Statutes (AS 44.12) that states the entire state will adhere to standard time during the period designated for daylight saving time, as outlined in federal law (15 U.S.C. 260a).

The effective date for this change is set for November 4, 2025. This legislation aims to simplify timekeeping within the state by eliminating the biannual clock changes associated with daylight saving time.
