Sunshine Protection Act of 2025

What this does

This bill makes daylight saving time year-round by making today's summer clock the permanent standard. It repeals the section of the Uniform Time Act of 1966 that set daylight saving as a temporary period each year. It then amends the Calder Act to advance standard time by one hour in every US time zone, so the clocks the country now runs only in summer become the fixed standard all year. States and areas that had already exempted themselves from daylight saving time may choose either the new advanced standard time or the standard time in effect before this Act. The House passed it on July 14, 2026.
