FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT) – A bill has been filed to get rid of daylight saving time in Kentucky.
House Bill 674, sponsored by Representative Steven Doan, R-Erlanger, would “exempt the Commonwealth of Kentucky from the observance of daylight saving time.”
If the bill passes, Kentucky’s last “spring forward” would be on Sunday, March 10, 2024, with the bill going into effect on November 1.
The clocks would then “fall back” a final time, and the commonwealth would stay on U.S. standard time.
House Bill 77 was filed in 2023, trying to establish year-round daylight saving, but the bill did not advance.
