House to Vote on Sunshine Protection Act for Permanent Daylight Saving Time
- The House of Representatives is preparing to vote on the Sunshine Protection Act, which would establish year-round daylight saving time.
- The bill has gained bipartisan support, including backing from President Donald Trump, and passed the Senate with unanimous consent in 2022.
- Currently, Hawaii and Arizona are the only states that do not observe daylight saving time, but 19 states have enacted legislation to adopt it permanently if allowed by Congress.
