Summary

Amends the Uniform Time Act’s rule on how standard time and daylight saving time are described and how States may act to change their observance. The single-section change makes four textual edits to the statutory language in 15 U.S.C. 260a(a) that alter phrasing about the applicable standard time, clarify how a State may act by law, and add two short insertions to the subsection. The amendment does not include a new effective date or any funding provisions in the text provided.

Key Points

• Changes wording of subsection 3(a) of the Uniform Time Act (15 U.S.C. 260a) by four textual edits.
• Replaces a phrase about which standard time applies during specified periods, altering statutory phrasing about time observance.
• Clarifies or revises how a State may act "by law" to set or change its observance of standard or daylight-saving time.
• Adds two insertions (one near the start of the subsection and one before the final period) that alter statutory language.
• No effective date, funding, or implementation timetable is provided in the excerpt.
• Implementation effects depend on legal interpretation and whether States or agencies change statutes, rules, or guidance in response.
• Does not create a new federal program, appropriation, or explicit federal mandate in the text shown.
• Likely requires administrative updates (state law, agency guidance, scheduling systems) if interpretations change.
