US House to vote on bill to make daylight saving time permanent
The bill would make daylight saving time permanent year-round, and the Senate would still need to approve it after a 48-1 committee vote.
- On Thursday, a notice confirmed the U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote next week on the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide.
- In May, the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted 48-1 to advance the legislation, demonstrating significant bipartisan momentum for ending the twice-yearly practice of changing clocks.
- Representative Vern Buchanan, a Florida Republican, has regularly proposed the measure since 2018, arguing that "ending the clock change is a commonsense reform that will improve everyday life for millions of Americans."
- U.S. Senator Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, opposes the measure, warning it would result in absurdly late winter sunrises and force children to attend school in darkness.
- President Donald Trump has urged an end to the 'Clock' changes, though Congress repealed year-round daylight saving time in 1974 due to unpopularity, suggesting the path to final passage remains uncertain.
