19 States Approved Permanent Daylight Saving Time. The Last Obstacle to Locking Their Clocks Could Soon Fall
- On July 14, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Sunshine Protection Act in a 308-117 vote, yet the legislation remains stalled in the U.S. Senate, ensuring most Americans will turn clocks back on November 1, 2026.

- With lawmakers scheduled to leave Washington on October 5, 2026, for recess, passage before the November 1 clock change appears unlikely as the bill remains stalled in committee.
