Sunshine Protection Act Heads to Congress | Lansing News

Congress is reviving the push to make Daylight Saving Time permanent with the Sunshine Protection Act, which narrowly advanced in the House Rules Committee — but still needs Senate approval and the president’s signature to become law. While the idea isn’t new (a similar bill passed the Senate in 2022), public opinion remains split. If enacted, summer evenings would stay bright longer, but winter mornings would plunge into darkness — imagine Detroit’s sunrise hitting 9 AM in December. If the bill fails before November 1, DST will revert to standard time in 2026, bringing back earlier sunrises and sunsets. The clock-switch debate is back on, and lawmakers are watching closely.
