The Daylight Act of 2026 would make daylight saving time permanent across the United States by eliminating the practice of switching clocks back and forth each year. The bill accomplishes this by amending the Calder Act to adjust time zone boundaries permanently—shifting them by 30 minutes relative to current standards—and repealing the section of the Uniform Time Act of 1966 that allows for seasonal time changes. This change would affect all Americans and any businesses or activities that rely on coordinated timekeeping across the country. The legislation would take effect 90 days after it becomes law, giving individuals and organizations roughly three months to prepare for the permanent time adjustment.
