US House passes bipartisan bill to make daylight saving time permanent

The U.S. House has approved a bill to make daylight saving time (DST) permanent across the country, marking a significant bipartisan effort to eliminate the twice-yearly clock changes. With a vote of 308-117, the Sunshine Protection Act now moves to the Senate, where its fate remains unclear. This move could bring an end to the long-debated practice of shifting clocks for DST, which many find inconvenient. The bill's passage highlights growing public and political support for a consistent timekeeping system, potentially improving health and economic outcomes by providing more consistent morning sunlight.
