House Rules Committee advances Sunshine Protection Act
Congress debates ending twice-yearly clock changes.
Event Overview
The House Rules Committee voted 6-4 to advance the Sunshine Protection Act, which would allow states to adopt permanent Daylight Saving Time. The bill is supported by President Donald Trump and lawmakers like Rep. Vern Buchanan and Sen. Alex Padilla, who argue it will boost the economy and public safety. Opponents, including Sen. Tom Cotton and Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragán, cite risks to children's safety and negative impacts on circadian rhythms. Some medical organizations and sleep scientists argue that permanent standard time is the healthier alternative.
