Bill > S29

This bill, known as the Sunshine Protection Act of 2025, aims to make daylight saving time (DST) permanent across the United States. Currently, the U.S. switches between standard time and daylight saving time twice a year, but this legislation would eliminate that practice by repealing the section of the Uniform Time Act of 1966 that allows for seasonal time changes. The bill modifies existing time zone regulations by adjusting how standard time is calculated, effectively keeping the country on daylight saving time year-round. It also provides flexibility for states that have previously exempted themselves from standard time changes, allowing them to choose whether to continue with their existing time practices or adopt the new permanent daylight saving time. This change would mean that clocks would no longer "fall back" in autumn or "spring forward" in March, providing a consistent time standard throughout the year and potentially offering benefits such as reduced confusion from time changes and potential energy savings.
