Full chamber floor — Speaker / Majority Leader controls scheduling
Moves the United States to permanent daylight saving time year-round.
The problem
The current practice of switching between standard and daylight saving time twice yearly causes confusion, health impacts, and economic disruption for individuals and businesses.
The proposal
The bill makes daylight saving time permanent nationwide, eliminating the spring-forward and fall-back time changes that occur twice each year.
The impact
All Americans would experience extended evening daylight year-round. Morning darkness would increase in winter. Sleep schedules, business operations, and daily routines nationwide would be affected.
Eliminates the twice-yearly clock changes that disrupt sleep patterns, work schedules, and daily routines. Stops the temporary spike in traffic accidents and health issues that occur after time changes. Removes confusion from scheduling and timekeeping.
More daylight in evenings could increase outdoor activity, recreation, and social engagement. May boost retail and entertainment business activity during evening hours. Could reduce need for artificial lighting and associated costs.
Some studies suggest permanent daylight saving time could reduce electricity consumption for lighting. May lower heating costs in spring and fall months. Could reduce overall energy demand during peak evening hours.
Businesses in retail, entertainment, and outdoor recreation sectors may see increased sales from additional evening daylight. Extended daylight hours could boost tourism and outdoor activities. May increase consumer spending in evening hours.
Northern states would have very dark mornings in winter, potentially until 8:30 or 9:00 AM. Could negatively impact school children's safety commuting in darkness. May affect morning productivity and mood due to delayed sunrise.
Permanent daylight saving time misaligns with natural circadian rhythms, potentially causing sleep problems. Some research links permanent DST to increased heart attacks and depression. Children and shift workers may face greater health impacts.
Farmers depend on morning darkness for specific tasks. Later sunrise times could disrupt livestock feeding schedules and agricultural workflows. May negatively impact farming efficiency and productivity.
Creates potential conflicts with other countries on different time schedules. Could complicate scheduling for international business, meetings, and transportation. May require renegotiation of existing time-zone agreements.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported.
