Senators introduce measure making Daylight Saving Time year-round standard

Florida Senators introduced the Sunshine Protection Act to make Daylight Saving Time permanent across the nation, aiming to end the biannual clock changes.
Public support for eliminating the time change is strong, with a 2023 YouGov poll showing 62% of Americans in favor.
Health experts have differing views, with the American Academy of Sleep Medicine preferring permanent standard time over Daylight Saving Time.
If passed, the legislation would result in later sunrises and sunsets, providing more evening daylight throughout the year.
