Daylight Saving Time Goes Permanent | Augusta Georgia News

The House just voted to make daylight saving time permanent — a game-changing move that could end the twice-yearly clock changes. With 308 votes to 117, the Sunshine Protection Act heads to the Senate, where it could become law. If passed, most states would stay on daylight time year-round, meaning later sunsets — often after 5 PM — but also later sunrises, possibly as late as 8 or even 9 AM in some areas. That could mean kids heading to school in the dark. Hawaii and parts of Arizona, already on standard time, would likely be exempt. This isn’t the first time the idea has been tried — back in the 70s, public backlash over dark winter mornings led to its undoing. Could this time be different?
