Daylight Act of 2026
United States119th CongressHR-7378House of Representatives
Updated: Feb 4, 2026
Summary
The "Daylight Act of 2026" proposes a significant and permanent alteration to American timekeeping. Its primary objective is to shift all United States time zones forward by 30 minutes relative to their current standard time, achieved by amending the Calder Act to adjust the Greenwich mean time offsets. Furthermore, this legislation aims to eliminate Daylight Saving Time entirely by repealing Section 3 of the Uniform Time Act of 1966. This means that the seasonal clock changes would cease, and the newly adjusted time would remain constant throughout the year. The provisions of this Act are slated to become effective 90 days following its enactment.
