FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of Administration assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on
their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore,
Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note.
Oversight notes, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL):
“In the last six years, 20 states have enacted legislation or passed resolutions to provide for
year-round daylight saving time, if Congress were to allow such a change, and in some cases, if

action is pending so it is not counted).
Some states have commissioned studies on the topic including Massachusetts (2017) and Maine
(2021).
Two states—Arizona and Hawaii—and the U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, the
Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands observe permanent standard
time.”
