Will Daylight Saving Time Become Permanent? The House Will Vote on a Bill This Week
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote this week on a bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, following President Trump's call to end the clock change. The Sunshine Protection Act, which passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee in May with a 48-1 vote, aims to eliminate the biannual clock changes. While the Senate unanimously approved a similar measure in March 2022, it stalled in the House due to opposition. Critics, including Senator Tom Cotton, argue that permanent Daylight Saving Time would lead to late sunrises in winter. Proponents believe it could boost economic activity and reduce sleep disruptions.
