[U.S. House Committee Passes Bill to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent]
According to a report by Jinse Finance, on May 21 local time, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on social media that the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee passed a related bill, including the "Sunshine Protection Act," with a vote of 48 in favor and 1 against. The bill aims to permanently implement daylight saving time. Trump stated that the frequent clock adjustments each year cost individuals, cities, and state governments "hundreds of millions of dollars," especially since adjusting tower clocks requires heavy equipment, making the costs extremely high. He mentioned that the House plans to attach the "Sunshine Protection Act" to the "Highway Bill" to advance legislation and said he would work "very hard" to push for the bill to be signed into law.
