House Passes Bill to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent

WASHINGTON – The House of Representatives has passed legislation to make daylight saving time permanent across the United States. The bill, named the Sunshine Protection Act, now proceeds to the Senate for further consideration. Former President Donald Trump previously expressed support for the measure.
