House Backs Year-Round Daylight Saving Time, Heads to Senate

The U.S. House voted 308-117 to pass the Sunshine Protection Act, moving to the Senate and potentially the president for signature, in a bid to enact year-round Daylight Saving Time nationwide; supporters say it spares Americans from clock changes and benefits daylight for activities, while opponents warn of possible economic and safety impacts, especially for farmers and students in darker winter mornings. The measure’s fate in the Senate remains uncertain, and states have already shown interest in adopting year-round time if Congress approves.
