    AN ACT concerning government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Time Standardization Act is amended by
changing Section 1 as follows:
 
    (5 ILCS 440/1)  (from Ch. 1, par. 3201)
    Sec. 1. At two o'clock ante meridian of the second last
Sunday in March April of each year, the standard time in this
state shall be advanced one hour, and at two o'clock ante
meridian of the first last Sunday in November October of each
year the standard time in this state shall, by the retarding of
one hour, be made to coincide with the mean astronomical time
of the ninety degrees of longitude West from Greenwich, the
standard official time of which is described as United States
standard central time, so that between the second last Sunday
of March April at two o'clock ante meridian in each year and
the first last Sunday in November October at two o'clock ante
meridian in each year the standard time in this state shall be
one hour in advance of the United States standard central time:
Provided, however, that nothing in this act shall be so
construed as to be in contravention of any federal law or
authorized order of the Interstate Commerce Commission with
respect to the time zones of the United States. And in all
laws, statutes, orders, judgments, rules and regulations
relating to the time of performance of any act of any officer
or department of this state, or of any county, township, city
or town, municipal corporation, agency or instrumentality of
the state, or school district or school authority or relating
to the time in which any rights shall accrue or determine, or
within which any act shall or shall not be performed by any
person subject to the jurisdiction of the state, and in all the
public schools and in all institutions of the state, or of any
county, township, city or town, municipal corporation, agency
or instrumentality of the state or school district or school
authority, and in all contracts or choses in action made or to
be performed in the state, it shall be understood and intended
that the time shall be the time prescribed in this section.
    If the date on which time is to be advanced one hour, the
date on which time is to be retarded one hour, or both, as set
forth under Section 260a of the federal Uniform Time Act of
1966 (15 U.S.C. 260a), as now or hereafter amended, renumbered,
or succeeded, differs from either or both of those dates as set
forth under this Section, then the dates set forth under the
federal law shall control and shall apply in Illinois,
notwithstanding the dates set forth in this Section.
