[Trump's Permanent Daylight Saving Time Bill Passes U.S. House Review] BlockBeats News, July 15: The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bipartisan 'Sunshine Protection Act' with 308 votes in favor and 117 votes against, aiming to make daylight saving time permanent. The plan would adopt the current March-to-November schedule year-round, resulting in U.S. stock market opening times permanently set at 9:30 PM (UTC+8), instead of shifting to 10:30 PM (UTC+8) during standard time in winter. States may choose to opt out before the bill takes effect. The bill has now been sent to the Senate for review but has not yet been passed there. Trump publicly supports the bill, stating that the twice-a-year time change incurs significant economic costs and expressing his commitment to pushing it into law. Some Republicans oppose the bill, arguing that late winter sunrises could affect student safety, potentially leading to children going to school in darkness or requiring delayed school start times. Supporters, on the other hand, believe eliminating time changes could improve sleep, reduce accidents, and boost economic activity.
