Daylight Saving Time Goes Permanent | Oakland News

The House just voted overwhelmingly to make daylight saving time permanent—308 to 117—aiming to eliminate annual clock changes and give more evening daylight, which supporters say benefits families and businesses. While the bill still needs Senate approval and states could opt out, public support is strong, with polls showing most Americans prefer the extra evening light. The White House backs the move, calling it common sense. Critics worry about darker winter mornings and question whether this is the right priority amid rising costs. This isn’t the first attempt—Congress has revisited the idea since WWII, with a similar Senate bill failing in the House before.
