The bill establishes daylight saving time as the year-round standard time for the entire State of Illinois.

  • 5 ILCS 440/1

    at At two o'clock ante meridian of the second Sunday in March of 2018 each year, the standard time in this State state shall be advanced one hour; and thereafter, → daylight saving time shall be the year-round standard time of the entire State, and at two o'clock ante meridian of the first Sunday in November of each year the standard time in this state shall, by the retarding of one hour, be made to coincide with the mean astronomical time of the ninety degrees of longitude West from Greenwich, the standard official time of which is described as United States standard central time, so that between the second Sunday of March at two o'clock ante meridian in each year and the first Sunday in November at two o'clock ante meridian in each year the standard time in this state shall be one hour in advance of the United States standard central time:

    This change eliminates the seasonal adjustment of clocks and establishes a consistent year-round time.

  • 5 ILCS 440/1

    provided, however, that nothing in this act shall be so construed as to be in contravention of any federal law or authorized order of the Interstate Commerce Commission with respect to the time zones of the United States.

    This removes the clause regarding federal law compliance, potentially changing how state law relates to federal time regulation.
