Summary
The proposal changes Vermont’s time law so the state stays on Eastern Standard Time all year, removing the twice‑yearly clock shift. It would affect every resident, business, and government office by fixing the clock at the same offset from Greenwich. Supporters say the change improves health, safety, and productivity.
