The House of Representatives has taken a significant step towards making daylight saving time permanent by passing the Sunshine Protection Act of 2025. This landmark legislation received widespread bipartisan support, passing with a decisive vote of 308-117.
The bill’s next hurdle is the Senate, where it will undergo further discussion and voting. If successful, it will be sent to President Trump, who has declared his intention to sign it into law once it reaches his desk.
