Sunshine Protection Act of 2025

# Sunshine Protection Act of 2025 - Plain Language Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would make daylight saving time permanent across the United States. Instead of switching clocks back and forth twice a year (spring forward, fall back), Americans would stay on daylight saving time year-round. The one exception is states or regions that are currently exempt from daylight saving time—they could choose whether to stay on standard time or switch to permanent daylight saving time. **Who It Affects and Current Status:** The bill would affect all Americans and their daily schedules, as well as businesses, schools, and other institutions that coordinate across time zones.

It was introduced by Representative Vern Buchanan (R-FL) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill would need to pass the House, Senate, and be signed by the President to become law.
