What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryLets states keep daylight saving time year-round
Right now, most of the country switches between daylight saving time and standard time twice a year. This bill would allow states to stay on daylight saving time all year long if they want to. States can already choose to stick with standard time year-round, so this bill would give them the other option.
How it affects you
If your state decides to use this option, you'd stay on daylight saving time permanently—meaning the sun would stay out later in the evening throughout the year, but rise later in the morning during winter months. Whether your state actually makes that choice would be up to state lawmakers.
