The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Sunshine Protection Act, a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, with a bipartisan vote of 308-117. The legislation, supported by Trump, aims to eliminate the biannual clock changes and maintain the current March-to-November time year-round. States can opt out before the bill takes effect. The bill now awaits Senate approval. Trump argues that the current system incurs significant economic costs, while some Republicans, including Senator Tom Cotton, oppose it due to concerns about late winter sunrises affecting student safety. Proponents claim it could improve sleep, reduce accidents, and boost economic activity.
