Ends Daylight Saving Time and shifts U.S. clocks forward by 30 minutes.
Mr. Steube.
Introduced in House, awaiting committee review.
This bill, introduced by Mr. Steube, proposes to eliminate Daylight Saving Time nationwide. It also permanently adjusts all existing U.S. time zones by reducing their offset from Greenwich Mean Time by 30 minutes, effectively shifting clocks forward by half an hour. The bill has been sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for consideration.
Introduced Feb 4, 2026
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Steube and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. For it to become law, it must pass both the House and the Senate, and then be signed by the President. If passed, it would take effect 90 days after becoming law.
If this bill becomes law, the annual practice of 'springing forward' and 'falling back' for Daylight Saving Time would end permanently. Additionally, the standard time in all U.S. time zones would shift forward by 30 minutes. For example, if it's currently 9:00 AM standard time, it would become 9:30 AM under this new system. This means sunrises and sunsets would occur 30 minutes later on the clock compared to the current standard time.
