[U.S. House of Representatives Passes Trump-Supported Permanent Daylight Saving Time Bill]
According to Just the News, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the bipartisan 'Sunshine Protection Act' with a vote of 308 in favor and 117 against, aiming to make daylight saving time permanent. This would mean adopting the current March-to-November time year-round, while allowing states to opt out before the bill takes effect. The bill still requires Senate approval before it can officially become law. Trump expressed his support, stating that the current twice-a-year time change incurs significant economic costs. However, some Republicans, including Senator Tom Cotton, oppose the bill, arguing that late winter sunrises could affect student safety on their way to school. Supporters believe eliminating the time change could improve sleep, reduce accidents, and boost economic activity.
