New Law: Daylight Savings Time

My favorite of the new laws passed by the Louisiana legislature in 2020 is the law regarding Daylight Savings Time.

Effective August 1, 2020, if the United States Congress amends 15 U.S.C. 260(a) to authorize states to observe daylight saving time year-round, Louisiana will, by the enactment of La. R.S. 1:50, adopt daylight saving time as the year-round standard of time for the entire state.

So far, we’re still subject to springing forward and falling back, but if the US Congress acts to change that, Louisiana will spring forward and stay there!
