"States Push for Permanent Daylight Saving Time Despite Congressional Debate"
TL;DR Summary
The Oklahoma Senate has passed Senate Bill 1200, which aims to make daylight saving time permanent in the state if authorized by federal law. The bill, authored by Sen. Blake Stephens, would require Oklahoma to adopt daylight saving time year-round. Last year, similar bills failed to pass the House, but legislators are pushing for a change due to strong constituent desire to stop the biannual time change. The US Senate has passed the Sunshine Protection Act, but the US House has yet to consider the bill.
