Ends twice-a-year clock changes by making daylight saving time permanent nationwide — more evening light, darker winter mornings.
The details
Twice-a-year clock changes would end: daylight saving time would become the permanent, year-round time nationwide. Instead of falling back each November, the country would stay on the later schedule — more evening daylight in winter, but darker mornings. States and areas that already opt out of daylight saving time, like Arizona and Hawaii, could choose to keep their current year-round time. The House passed this measure on July 14, 2026; it now awaits action in the Senate.
