Bill Summary
A bill to make daylight saving time permanent, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Sunshine Protection Act of 2023, proposes to make daylight saving time permanent in the United States. It repeals the temporary period for daylight saving time under the Uniform Time Act of 1966 and advances the standard time by one hour, effectively keeping the country on daylight saving time year-round. The bill also allows states that have previously exempted themselves from daylight saving time provisions to choose either the new permanent daylight saving time or their previous standard time, providing flexibility for certain states and areas.
