HR 5826 United States House · 117th Congress

To allow States to elect to observe year-round daylight saving time, and for other purposes.

HR 5826 would allow U.S. states to choose year-round daylight saving time (DST) instead of switching back to standard time each fall. It amends the 1966 Uniform Time Act to remove the requirement for states to revert to standard time, enabling states to pass laws applying DST continuously. This would directly affect any state that adopts the change, eliminating the need for biannual clock adjustments within that state. The bill provides the legal mechanism for states to make this choice but does not require any state to do so.
