This bill authorizes South Dakota to permanently stay on daylight saving time year-round, but only once the state's attorney general confirms that federal law allows it. Currently, South Dakota observes standard time in winter and daylight saving time in summer, switching between the two twice annually. The bill removes that requirement to switch back, provided federal law permits the state to do so.
