Summary

What the bill does

This bill makes daylight saving time permanent across the United States. It repeals the current system that switches clocks twice a year. States that currently opt out of daylight saving time can choose to keep their own standard time.

Why it matters

The stakes

If passed, Americans would no longer change their clocks in spring and fall. This affects sleep schedules, work hours, and daily routines for everyone.
