I rise to the floor to sponsor HR 19-29, the Election Daylight Savings Act. This bill will give us more clarity between Daylight Saving Time period and Standard Time period for election administration.

I seek an AYE vote on this bill!

Why are we motioning for a final vote for a bill that's been on the floor 48 hours? Isn't that against the rules?

Sponsorship was recognized on August 6th, motion was made on August 9th. Debate was roughly 81 hours in length.

With a majority of representatives voting to pass this bill, the vote will close in 24 hours or when all representatives have voted, whichever is sooner, and any representative who wishes to change his or her vote must do so during that interval.

Aye, makes sense to make it easier for other people to vote without confusion due to DST.
