A measure to stop the twice‑yearly clock change and keep daylight‑saving time year‑round cleared a House rules committee, moving it toward a full chamber vote. The legislation, known as the Sunshine Protection Act and introduced by Rep. Vern Buchanan of Florida, received backing from members of both parties, including former President Donald Trump, who posted on his social platform that the step represented a favorable outcome for Republicans. The committee approved the motion 6‑4; the proposal still requires approval by the entire House and then the Senate. If enacted, the law would shift the nation to a constant daylight‑saving schedule, producing later sunrises and sunsets and extending evening daylight, a change supported by some states that have already passed similar statutes.
