This market will resolve to "Yes" if a law with the effect of making Daylight Saving Time the permanent, year-round time across the United States, is enacted into law by December 31, 2026 at 11:59PM. Otherwise this market will resolve to "No". The existence of any carve-outs or exceptions shall not be relevant for purposes of this market. The primary resolution source is Congress.gov’s legislation tracker (https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/3633) and other official information from the government of the United States, however other credible reporting may be used.The House's recent passage of the Sunshine Protection Act on July 14, 2026, with strong bipartisan support, has lifted expectations for ending seasonal clock changes, yet the measure's path through the Senate remains uncertain with limited legislative calendar time left this year. President Trump's public endorsement and prior unanimous Senate approval of a similar bill in 2022 provide momentum, but procedural holds, airline industry concerns over scheduling disruptions, and debates over permanent daylight versus standard time create friction. Traders see a narrow edge for "No" because full enactment and 2026 implementation would require rapid Senate action and presidential signature amid competing priorities. Key upcoming catalysts include Senate floor scheduling, any state opt-out provisions, and health or economic impact assessments that could shift consensus before year-end deadlines.
