Bill Summary
A BILL To make daylight savings time permanent, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Sunshine Protection Act of 2023, aims 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 amends the Calder Act to advance standard time by one hour, effectively keeping the clocks an hour ahead year-round. The bill also allows states that had previously exempted themselves from daylight saving time to maintain their preferred standard time.
