Sunrise Shift: DST Forever in U.S.? | Portland News
Description
The House could vote this week on the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide—ending the twice-yearly clock changes. If passed, winters would see later sunsets, potentially after 5 PM in many areas, while summers stay largely unchanged. Nineteen states already have laws pending federal approval, and while past attempts failed, health experts argue standard time may be better for sleep. The Senate tried a similar bill last fall, and other proposals offer states more flexibility. Still, no law is guaranteed—so brace yourself for another November clock change unless Congress acts.
