Summary
Permanent daylight saving time is the bill's main goal. This bill would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide by repealing the seasonal clock-change authority in the Uniform Time Act and by recalibrating the Calder Act's statutory hour offsets.
Show full summary
- Families and households get more evening daylight year-round.
- States that had exempted themselves from seasonal clock changes can choose to adopt the new statutory standard time framework or keep the standard time they used before enactment.
- The measure rewrites the Calder Act’s hour offsets, shifting each time-zone offset by one hour and changing the statutory definition of legal time used by clocks and scheduling systems.

Permanent daylight saving time nationwide
If enacted, this bill would end the twice-a-year clock change. It would set year-round daylight saving time by moving each federal time zone one hour later. States that had opted out of daylight saving before enactment would be able to keep their prior time or adopt the new standard. The changes would take effect upon enactment and would guide schedules for travel, broadcasting, and businesses.
