The House has passed a bill called the Sunshine Protection Act, which aims to make daylight saving time permanent. The bill has bipartisan support and is being pushed by President Donald Trump.
What Would Permanent Daylight Saving Time Look Like?
If the bill becomes law, it would mean an end to changing the clocks twice a year. Winter days would have sunsets after 5 p.m., but sunrises would also be later, with some cities seeing sunrises as late as 9 a.m.
Some senators have expressed concerns about the impact on commuters, farmers, and students waiting for the school bus in the dark. The bill is currently awaiting action from the Senate, which is in recess until September 21.
