Permanent DST? Senate to Decide | Seattle News

The House just passed H.R. 139 to make Daylight Saving Time permanent—no more clock changes in November—thanks to bipartisan support. Advocates, including Senator Patty Murray and even President Trump, tout safety benefits and public demand, especially in snowy or dark-winter states. But critics worry about darker mornings for kids and warn that year-round DST could mess with sleep cycles. The bill now heads to the Senate, where opposition looms and the vote’s uncertain. It’s a heated debate with roots in the 1970s, when permanent DST failed after just one winter. The Senate’s move will decide if America finally sticks to one time—or keeps flipping clocks forever.
