Sunshine Protection Act of 2025

The Sunshine Protection Act of 2025 would establish daylight saving time as the permanent standard time across the United States if enacted. Currently, the nation observes standard time for most of the year and switches to daylight saving time during warmer months. This bill would eliminate that twice-yearly clock change by keeping daylight saving time in effect year-round.

The bill includes a provision allowing states that currently have areas exempt from daylight saving time to choose which time standard applies in those areas. This would affect regions like parts of Hawaii, Arizona, and some U.S. territories that do not observe daylight saving time. The bill is currently in the committee stage and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
