House Bill No. 1223, known as the "Wyman West Actual Lock the Clock Act," aims to establish year-round standard time in Oklahoma. The bill amends existing law to mandate that, starting November 2, 2025, the state will adopt standard time as the year-round time for all its political subdivisions. This change eliminates the previous provision that required a federal law to authorize states to observe daylight saving time year-round.
Additionally, the bill includes a noncodification clause, meaning that the new law will not be added to the Oklahoma Statutes. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025. The amendments remove references to daylight saving time and clarify that the new standard time will apply statewide.
Statutes affected: Introduced: 25-90.29
