Search your ZIP code: How sunrises look under permanent daylight saving time
The bill would keep clocks on daylight saving time year-round, but concerns about dark winter mornings and local exemptions have slowed Senate action.
- The Senate is unlikely to pass the House-passed Sunshine Protection Act before year-end, stalling efforts to make Daylight Saving Time permanent despite pressure from President Donald Trump.
- Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., leads opposition among Senate Republicans, arguing that permanent Daylight Saving Time would force commuters and schoolchildren to endure dark mornings with safety risks.
- The House-passed bill cleared the House 308-117, yet only 12% of Americans favor the current system. The American Medical Association and American Academy of Sleep Medicine support a single time standard.
- Clocks across the Country "fall back" an hour on Halloween weekend as the Sunshine Protection Act remains deadlocked in the Senate, leaving Americans to continue the twice-yearly ritual.
- The Country previously experimented with year-round Daylight Saving Time during World War, but President Gerald Ford reversed the trial after public approval plummeted, following its initial implementation by President Richard Nixon.
