Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
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 .
| 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 |
