House votes to lock in daylight longer with permanent daylight saving time

The House approved the Sunshine Protection Act to end the biannual clock changes and keep daylight saving time year‑round, with exceptions for areas that already stay on standard time; the measure moves to the Senate where prospects are uncertain, while the White House supports it. Proponents say longer evenings boost safety and activity, but medical groups warn it could misalign circadian rhythms and push winter sunrises later in parts of the country.
