Permanent Daylight Saving Time Bill's Future Uncertain After Senate Adjourns
The Sunshine Protection Act passed the House 308-117, but Senate leaders left it off the floor before recess and the midterm elections.
- The Senate will not vote on the Sunshine Protection Act before the midterm elections, stalling the permanent Daylight Saving Time measure until after Nov. 3.
- Lawmakers passed the legislation in the House July 14 with a 308-117 vote, aiming to end the twice-yearly practice of changing Clocks in 48 states.
- President Donald Trump advocated for the change on Truth Social, calling clock shifts "ridiculous" and stating "Republicans, Democrats, and Independents can unite behind!" the effort.
- Opponents, including Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa, warned the change would force Millions to "wake up during the winter months in complete darkness" before work or school.
- GOP Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana told Reuters the legislation is "dead as disco," noting he does not expect leadership to bring it up for a vote.
