Daylight Saving Time Could Become Permanent | Las Vegas News

The House just voted to make daylight saving time permanent — a historic shift that could end the twice-yearly clock changes. With 308 votes to 117, the Sunshine Protection Act heads to the Senate, where its fate remains uncertain. If passed, states would be locked into daylight time year-round — except Hawaii and Arizona, already exempt. Winter sunsets could stretch past 5 PM, but sunrises might creep to 8 or even 9 AM, sparking concerns about safety and health. Back in the 70s, similar attempts failed after kids walked to school in the dark and safety fears mounted. Energy savings were minimal — just 1%. While 19 states have already passed their own laws waiting for Congress, Senate pushback looms, with lawmakers debating health impacts and state autonomy. The clock’s future? Still ticking.
