Makes daylight savings time permanent by repealing the temporary period for it.

The Sunshine Protection Act of 2025 makes daylight savings time permanent by repealing the temporary period for it. This bill amends the Uniform Time Act of 1966 and the Calder Act to adjust the standard time for states that have exempted themselves from daylight savings time. The changes include advancing the standard time by one hour across various time zones. States can still choose to exempt themselves from these provisions.
