What it does
This bill makes daylight saving time permanent nationwide, eliminating the twice-yearly clock changes. States that have previously opted out of daylight saving time may continue to observe standard time year-round if they choose. The bill amends the 1966 Uniform Time Act to establish permanent daylight time as the national default, with limited state exemptions.
