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.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 10 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 40 quarterly reports filed by 2 lobbying firms and by 8 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Air Transport Association of America, Inc. (D/B/A Airlines for America); Salem Media Group; National Association of Broadcasters; National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies; Pennsylvania Farm Bureau. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 5 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
