US House passes bipartisan bill to make daylight saving time permanent

The U.S. House has taken a significant step toward making daylight saving time (DST) permanent across the country, passing the Sunshine Protection Act with a 308-117 vote. This bipartisan bill aims to end the tradition of switching clocks twice a year, a practice that has long been debated. While the bill's future in the Senate remains unclear, its passage in the House signals a growing consensus on simplifying the calendar's time adjustments. This move could bring stability to daily routines and potentially impact energy consumption and public health.
