House passes bill that would make daylight saving time permanent
The 308-117 vote sends the bill to the Senate, where supporters say permanent daylight saving time would boost evening activity and tourism.
- On Tuesday, the House voted 308-117 to pass the Sunshine Protection Act, advancing legislation backed by President Donald Trump that would allow states to make Daylight Saving Time permanent.
- Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., who authored the bill, said Americans are "tired of the biannual time change," while Nineteen states have already passed legislation to make the change permanent.
- House Energy and Commerce ranking member Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., told lawmakers that "the benefits of stopping the biannual changing of the clocks are numerous and clear," citing tourism boosts.
- Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., warned the act would result in "absurdly late" winter sunrises, while the American Medical Association argues year-round standard time better aligns with natural daylight.
- The Senate must now pass the bill, which requires at least 60 votes to succeed, though a 1974 attempt at permanent daylight saving time was repealed less than a year later.
