Assembly Bill 160 aims to eliminate daylight saving time in Wisconsin by repealing the existing statute that governs its observance. The bill amends several sections of the statutes, specifically removing references to daylight saving time in the context of closing hours for establishments with Class B and Class C licenses. Notably, it deletes the requirement for these establishments to adjust their closing hours on the Sunday when daylight saving time begins, thereby standardizing the closing hours to remain consistent throughout the year.

Additionally, the bill repeals the statute that specifically addresses daylight saving time, and it clarifies that when time is referenced in legal contexts, it will refer to standard time only. The changes are set to take effect on the first January 1 following the publication of the act, aligning Wisconsin's timekeeping practices with those of states that do not observe daylight saving time.
