Daylight Saving Time Changes: How Senate Could Vote on Bill Before Nov. 1
Lawmakers remain divided over whether the change should become law before clocks are set to fall back this autumn.
The Sunshine Protection Act, a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, is currently awaiting Senate action after passing the House in July. The legislation has garnered bipartisan support, including from President Donald Trump, but faces opposition from senators concerned about darker winter mornings. If approved and signed into law, the act would eliminate the need to change clocks twice a year.
Despite polls showing a majority of Americans favor ending the seasonal clock change, the Senate's action on the bill is uncertain, with Majority Leader John Thune noting that the issue remains divided in the chamber.
