OH SCR8

Urges Congress to enact The Sunshine Protection Act of 2019 (H.R. 1556) to establish permanent daylight saving time nationwide.

Identifies benefits of daylight saving time including additional evening daylight, increased outdoor activity for children and youth, expanded economic opportunities, energy savings, improved traffic safety, and crime reduction.

Notes that federal law currently prohibits states from establishing permanent daylight saving time, requiring the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to enforce uniform application across all time zones.

Directs the Clerk of the Senate to transmit copies of the resolution to the President, Congress, Ohio's Congressional delegation, and Ohio news media.
