The Sunshine Protection Act of 2025 would make daylight saving time permanent across the United States, effectively eliminating the need to change clocks twice a year. It repeals the section of the Uniform Time Act that allows for standard time and adjusts time zone offsets from Greenwich Mean Time. States that previously opted out of daylight saving time would have the option to choose between the new, permanent daylight saving time or the previous standard time.
The DRAIN THE SWAMP Act mandates the relocation of at least 30% of Executive agency headquarters employees out of the Washington, D.C., area, reduces headquarters office space, and requires detailed employee information in budget justifications to Congress. This act prioritizes the disposal of buildings and the co-location of Executive agency headquarters in as few locations as possible.

The "DRAIN THE SWAMP Act" mandates the relocation of at least 30% of Executive agency headquarters employees out of the Washington, D.C., area, adjusting their pay to the new locality and eliminating full-time telework. It also requires agencies to reduce their headquarters office space by at least 30% and to include detailed employee location and telework data in budget submissions to Congress. This act takes precedence over any conflicting laws or agreements, and prevents lawsuits challenging actions taken under it.
