Sunshine for Our Kids Act of 2026

This bill would end the federal daylight saving time schedule and make standard time permanent nationwide. It repeals the section of the Uniform Time Act of 1966 that sets daylight saving time. States could pass their own laws to move their clocks ahead 1 hour, either year-round or for part of the year, as long as the whole state follows the same time. States with more than one time zone could do this for the whole state or for the part of the state in a given time zone. The changes would take effect on the first Sunday of November after the bill becomes law.
