Daylight Saving Time Goes Permanent | Venice Beach News

The House just voted to make daylight saving time permanent with a massive 308-117 win, passing the Sunshine Protection Act to eliminate twice-yearly clock changes.

Though first introduced in 1918 to save energy and briefly made permanent in 1973, the idea has always sparked debate. Now, the bill heads to the Senate, where its future is uncertain despite some senators pushing for a quick vote — and the President has signaled he’d sign it if it reaches his desk. This could be a major shift for a decades-old tradition, with the debate far from over. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
