YourVoice.Now Summary
Clocks would stop changing twice a year — more evening light in winter, darker mornings.
The details
The twice-a-year clock change would end. Daylight saving time would become the year-round clock across the country. Clocks would no longer fall back each November. Winter evenings would get an extra hour of daylight. Winter mornings would stay dark an hour longer. States and areas that already skip daylight saving time could keep the time they use now. Other states would lose the option to opt out later on. The House passed this bill on July 14, 2026. The Senate has not voted, so your clock does not change yet.
