House Bill No. 1223, known as the "Wyman West Actual Lock the Clock Act," proposes to establish year-round standard time in Oklahoma. The bill amends existing law to mandate that upon returning to Standard Time on 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 allowed for the observation of daylight saving time contingent upon federal authorization.

Additionally, the bill includes a noncodification clause, indicating that the new law will not be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025. The amendments also remove language that previously stated the law would not affect federal time regulations related to interstate commerce or federal agency operations.
