On Tuesday, July 15th, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the Sunshine Protection Act, a bill designed to make daylight saving time permanent across the country. If the Senate approves the legislation, clocks would remain on the current daylight saving time setting year-round, eliminating the biannual clock changes.

The bill now moves to the Senate, where its fate will be decided. This legislative effort reflects ongoing discussions about the benefits and drawbacks of daylight saving time adjustments.
