Permanent Daylight Saving Time Push | Denver News

The U.S. House is poised to vote on a bill that could make daylight saving time permanent—ending the twice-yearly clock switch. Backed by a strong committee vote and championed by President Trump, who claims billions are wasted on the changes, the “Sunshine Protection Act” follows a similar Senate passage in 2022 that stalled in the House. While daylight saving time originated in WWI to conserve energy, its current March-to-November schedule has sparked renewed debate. Though 18 states have already passed laws supporting year-round DST, federal law currently blocks states like Arizona and Hawaii from staying on it. For nationwide change, Congress must act—making this vote a pivotal moment in timekeeping history. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
