House Approves Bill to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent Nationwide

On Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed the bipartisan 'Sunshine Protection Act of 2025' with a vote of 308-117, aiming to eliminate the biannual clock changes associated with daylight saving time. This legislation allows states the option to opt out but seeks to maintain longer daylight hours in the evening, which proponents argue would benefit Americans' daily activities. The bill now moves to the Senate, where its future remains uncertain, despite having previously received Senate approval in 2022. Support from President Donald Trump adds momentum to the proposal, which is seen as a common-sense reform for many citizens.
