A Trump-backed bill to make daylight saving time permanent advances in the U.S. House after clearing a key procedural hurdle. Multiple reports say the proposal, known as the Sunshine Protection Act, passes the House Rules Committee by a vote of 6–4. The measure would allow states to keep year-round daylight saving time rather than returning to standard time. Supporters characterize the change as a way to extend evening daylight. Opponents warn that keeping clocks from shifting could affect how people’s bodies align with natural light and may disrupt circadian rhythms, which are regulated by day-night cycles. The reports also note that while the bill clears the committee stage, it still requires further action in the House and ultimately congressional approval before becoming law. The coverage focuses on both the bill’s progress and the debate over potential health and lifestyle impacts of eliminating seasonal clock changes.
