Ends twice-yearly clock changes by making daylight saving time permanent nationwide.
This bill would end the practice of changing clocks twice a year by making daylight saving time permanent across most of the United States. This means that once the bill takes effect, the time would always be what we currently call 'daylight saving time.' States that already opted out of daylight saving time would get to choose if they want to keep their current time or switch to the new permanent time.
Today, most Americans change their clocks twice a year, moving to daylight saving time in the spring and back to standard time in the fall. If this bill passes, clocks would no longer change. The time would permanently stay on what is currently known as daylight saving time, effectively shifting all time zones forward by one hour year-round.
