Key Points
Congress is moving forward with a plan to change how we set our clocks. This resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will talk about and vote on a permanent time change.
The goal of the underlying bill is to update the national laws for time zones. This could mean Americans would no longer have to switch their clocks twice a year for daylight saving time.
This specific action limits the debate to one hour and prevents any new changes from being added to the bill right now. It is a necessary step before the House can make a final decision.
If the final plan is approved later, it would affect almost everyone in the country by changing when the sun rises and sets during different seasons.
