Section 38. All areas of this state shall be exempted from the daylight saving time provisions of 15 U.S.C. Section 260a. Beginning on the first Sunday in March of 2017, the state and its political subdivisions and agencies shall switch clocks to daylight saving for the last time and the use of daylight saving time for public purposes will be eliminated.
