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 passed the Sunshine Protection Act (H.R. 139) in July 2026 by a 308-117 bipartisan vote, advancing it to the Senate where it remains stalled in the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee with no floor vote scheduled. Senate leaders have cited limited remaining session days—roughly a dozen before early October adjournment and a post-November 1 return—as a key barrier, leaving insufficient time for passage, reconciliation, or presidential action before the scheduled clock change on November 1. Nineteen states hold conditional statutes awaiting federal authorization, yet structural requirements under the Uniform Time Act of 1966 and competing concerns over winter sunrise times, airline scheduling, and health impacts have slowed momentum. Trader consensus at 95% against permanent DST in 2026 reflects these procedural and calendar constraints rather than outright opposition to the policy.
