AI Summary
This proposal would make daylight saving time the permanent time nationwide, so most people would stop changing their clocks twice a year. It updates federal time rules to keep the later-evening daylight all year long . States that currently have areas exempt from daylight saving time could decide what the permanent standard time will be for those areas .
- What changes: Daylight saving time becomes the new standard time year-round, ending the spring and fall clock changes .
- State choice: States with existing exemptions can choose which standard time applies in those places going forward .
| Key point | What it means |
|---|---|
| Who is affected | People and communities across the country that now switch clocks, plus states with areas that opted out of daylight saving time |
| What changes | No more twice-yearly clock changes; later daylight in the evenings year-round |
| State options | Exempt areas can set their permanent standard time choice |
