Existing federal law requires the annual advancement of the standard time for each time zone by 1 hour commencing at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of March of each year and ending at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of November of each year, commonly referred to as daylight saving time. (15 U.S.C. § 260a(a)) Under existing federal law, a state may by state law exempt itself and its political subdivisions from the provisions requiring the advancement of time and observe the prescribed standard time for the entire calendar year. (15 U.S.C. § 260a)
This bill exempts Nevada from the federal provisions requiring the observance of daylight saving time. Nevada would remain on Pacific Standard Time throughout the entire year.
