To allow States to elect to observe year-round daylight saving time, and for other purposes.
Sponsored By: Representative Rogers, Mike D. [R-AL-3]
Introduced
Summary
Gives states the option to observe daylight saving time year-round. This bill would change the Uniform Time Act so a state could, by law, either adopt the standard time described in paragraph (1) for the whole state or apply the advancement of time (daylight saving time) for the full year to the area of the state that lies within any time zone. It replaces unclear wording to make those options explicit and lets states pick year‑round daylight saving time for all or part of their territory.
