States Can Choose Year-Round Daylight Saving Time

This bill allows states to permanently adopt daylight saving time, meaning clocks would not change twice a year. Citizens in states that choose this option would experience longer evenings with natural light throughout the year. This change could impact daily schedules and well-being.
Key points
States gain the option to observe daylight saving time year-round, eliminating the need to change clocks.
If a state opts for year-round daylight saving time, evenings will be brighter for longer, potentially affecting after-work and school activities.
A study on the effects of year-round daylight saving time will be conducted within two years of the bill's enactment.
