House passes bill topasses bill to make daylight saving time permanent

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on July 14, 2026, to make daylight saving time permanent, with President Trump endorsing the legislation as a priority for Congress.

The three-year Sunshine Protection Act aims to eliminate the twice-yearly clock change, which critics call a costly and unnecessary hassle while supporters argue it improves daily life.

This move matters as it could reshape how Americans experience time and daylight unless the Senate acts or the President signs the final law.
