Ends Daylight Saving Time and permanently shifts clocks by 30 minutes across the U.S.
This bill would end the yearly practice of setting clocks forward and back for Daylight Saving Time. It would also permanently shift all U.S. time zones by 30 minutes. This means your local clock time would be 30 minutes different from what it is today during standard time, affecting everyone in the United States.
Currently, the U.S. observes standard time zones with whole-hour differences from Greenwich Mean Time, and most areas switch to Daylight Saving Time for part of the year by moving clocks forward one hour. If this bill becomes law, all U.S. time zones would permanently shift by 30 minutes (e.g., 4 hours less becomes 3.5 hours less), and the yearly practice of Daylight Saving Time would end nationwide. These changes would take effect 90 days after the bill is signed into law.
