Summary
The House just voted to make daylight saving time permanent under the Sunshine Protection Act — letting states choose year-round DST or revert to standard time. If the Senate approves, we could say goodbye to twice-yearly clock changes, though it might create a patchwork of time zones across the country. Supporters say it boosts evening light and reduces sleep disruption, while skeptics worry about chaos. States like North and South Carolina are already preparing to push for permanent DST — aiming to simplify schedules and extend after-work hours.
