This bill aims to repeal the existing provisions related to Daylight Saving Time in Idaho and introduces new sections to exempt both the Mountain Time Zone and Pacific Time Zone portions of the state from Daylight Saving Time. Specifically, it repeals Chapter 96, Title 67 of the Idaho Code and amends Chapter 1, Title 73 by adding two new sections: Section 73-123 and Section 73-124. These sections provide exemptions from Daylight Saving Time for the respective time zones and stipulate that Idaho will conform to any federal law that mandates permanent Daylight Saving Time.

The legislative intent behind this bill emphasizes the negative impacts of changing clocks on health, safety, education, and the economy. It highlights the historical context of permanent Standard Time and the recommendations from various sleep research organizations against permanent Daylight Saving Time. The bill also includes contingency effective dates, which state that the new provisions will take effect on January 1 of the first year following or coinciding with similar exemptions in Oregon and Washington.
