Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change the official standard time in every U.S. time zone by moving each zone's offset from Coordinated Universal Time by half an hour. For example, a zone now set 5 hours behind would be set 4.5 hours behind. The bill would also repeal the federal law that sets daylight saving time, so clocks would no longer change in spring and fall. These changes would take effect 90 days after the bill becomes law.
