Daylight Saving Time Goes Permanent | Sacramento News

The House just voted to make daylight saving time permanent — a major win for those tired of twice-yearly clock chaos. The Sunshine Protection Act passed 308 to 117, aiming to keep clocks one hour ahead year-round, with exceptions for states like Arizona and Hawaii. Supporters tout health, sleep, and economic benefits — more evening light to enjoy after work. But critics warn darker winter mornings could hurt safety and well-being, especially for kids. Now it heads to the Senate, where past attempts have stalled. Even Trump’s on board — he’d sign it if it reaches his desk. This isn’t the first push for permanent DST — it was tried in 1973 and fizzled fast. The debate’s all about balancing summer sun with winter gloom.
