Bill > HR7378

This bill, known as the Daylight Act of 2026, proposes to permanently adjust American time by amending the Calder Act, which originally established standard time zones and daylight saving time. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate the practice of Daylight Saving Time, which is currently governed by the Uniform Time Act of 1966, by repealing Section 3 of that act. The bill also makes changes to the standard time offsets within the Calder Act, reducing each time zone's offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by half an hour, meaning that instead of being 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 hours ahead of UTC, they would be 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5, or 10.5 hours ahead, respectively. These changes would take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted into law.
