To allow States to elect to observe year-round daylight saving time, and for other purposes.
HR 1474 would amend federal law to allow states to choose year-round daylight saving time (DST) without reverting to standard time in the fall. If a state passes a law adopting this option, it would no longer need to change clocks twice a year, keeping the same time year-round. The bill modifies the 1966 Uniform Time Act to give states the authority to apply DST permanently across the entire state, rather than having to follow the current seasonal schedule. This change would directly affect any state legislature that enacts such a law, altering their time zone practice without requiring federal approval.
