This Act may be cited as the `Halloween Safety Act of 2004'.

SEC. 2. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME EXTENDED TO FIRST WEEK IN NOVEMBER.

(a) In General- Section 3(a) of the Uniform Time Act of 1966 (15 U.S.C. 260a(a)) is amended by striking `last Sunday of October' and inserting `first Sunday of November'.

(b) Effect on Existing State Elections- Any law in effect on the date of the enactment of this Act which is--

(1) adopted pursuant to section 3(a)(2) of the Uniform Time Act of 1966 by a State with parts thereof in more than one time zone; or

(2) adopted pursuant to section 3(a)(1) of such Act by a State that lies entirely within one time zone,

(2) The general rules, or interim action, undertaken under paragraph (1) may include variances with respect to operating power and other technical operating characteristics.

(3) At any time after the adoption of general rules under paragraph (1), the general rules may be varied with respect to particular stations and areas because of the exigencies in each case.
