US House passes bipartisan bill to make daylight saving time permanent

The U.S. House has taken a significant step towards making daylight saving time (DST) a permanent fixture across the nation. With a 308-117 vote, the bipartisan Sunshine Protection Act moves the country closer to eliminating the annual ritual of changing clocks twice a year. While the bill's passage in the Senate remains uncertain, this move reflects a growing consensus that the benefits of consistent daylight hours may outweigh the traditional back-and-forth. Advocates argue it could reduce energy consumption and improve public health by maintaining a more stable circadian rhythm.
