The bill H. 3320 proposes to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new article that establishes Eastern Standard Time as the permanent standard time for the state, eliminating any further adjustments under state or federal law. This change is intended to exempt South Carolina from Daylight Saving Time, as the state lies entirely within one time zone. The bill also includes provisions for the Attorney General to request a waiver from the United States Secretary of Transportation to allow this change to take effect.

If the waiver is not granted, the provisions of the bill will become null and void ten days after the Attorney General notifies the Secretary of State of the waiver denial. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
