Wisconsin Divided on DST | Green Bay News

The U.S. House just voted to make daylight saving time permanent — a bold move that could mean goodbye to springing forward and falling back twice a year. The Sunshine Protection Act passed 308 to 117, but Wisconsin’s representatives were divided: four Republicans backed it, two opposed, and both Democrats voted no — proving even this simple time issue doesn’t follow party lines. Supporters say it means more daylight for families, while opponents warn of sleep disruption and harm to kids. With the Senate still undecided and President Trump on board, if it passes, January sunrises could hit nearly 9 AM and sunsets around 7 PM — a shift that’s been debated for decades, including in Wisconsin, where a similar state bill fizzled out.
