Daylight Saving Time Goes Permanent | Bakersfield News

The House just voted to make Daylight Saving Time permanent — a move that could end twice-yearly clock chaos for good. With 308 votes in favor and 117 opposed, the Sunshine Protection Act heads to the Senate, where passage isn’t guaranteed. Supporters tout benefits for kids’ sleep and mental health, while critics — especially farmers — warn of darker winter mornings. This isn’t the first time Congress has tried it: a 1974 attempt failed, and even Trump has resisted the change. Nineteen states are already ready to go year-round, but Hawaii and Arizona might opt out. The debate rages on — and we’ll have to wait and see if the Senate follows suit.
