 4 that of the seventy-fifth meridian of longitude west from Greenwich[,
 5 except as hereinafter provided, and all courts and public officers, and
 6 legal and official proceedings, shall be regulated thereby]. The state,
 7 acting under the exemption provisions of the Uniform Time Act of 1966
 8 (15 U.S.C. Section 260a(a)), is exempt from the provisions of that law
 9 that establishes daylight saving time.
 10 2. [At two o'clock ante meridian on the last Sunday in April of each
 11 year the standard time throughout this state shall be advanced one hour
 12 from that of the seventy-fifth meridian of longitude west from Green-
 13 wich, and the time so advanced shall continue to be standard time
 14 throughout this state until the last Sunday in October of the same year,
 15 when such standard time, as so advanced, shall be retarded to that of
 16 the seventy-fifth meridian west from Greenwich; and during such period
 17 in each year all courts and public officers, and legal and official
 18 proceedings, shall be regulated in accordance therewith.] No department

 20 vision shall employ any other time or adopt any statute, ordinance or
 21 order providing for the use of any other standard of time.
