House passes bill to make daylight saving time permanent
The House on Tuesday passed with broad bipartisan support legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide.
The lower chamber voted 308-117 for the Sunshine Protection Act of 2025, which would make daylight saving time the permanent standard time. Twenty-two Republicans and 95 Democrats voted against the measure.
The legislation now heads to the Senate.
President Trump has backed the legislation, arguing in a Truth Social post that the bill “is so important in that Hundreds of Millions of Dollars are spent every year by people, Cities, and States, being forced to change their Clocks.”
“I am going to work very hard to see The Sunshine Protection Act signed into Law. It’s time that people can stop worrying about the ‘Clock,’ not to mention all of the work and money that is spent on this ridiculous, twice yearly production. It will also be a very nice WIN for the Republican Party. Take it!” Trump added.
