Permanent Daylight Saving Time Approved | Orlando News
Description
The House just passed the Sunshine Protection Act, paving the way for permanent Daylight Saving Time across the U.S.—though states can still opt out. This long-debated bill, backed by President Trump and previously blocked in 2022, aims to eliminate the twice-yearly clock changes. Originally introduced during World War I to conserve fuel, the practice became chaotic after WWII, until Congress standardized it in 1966. Now, the Senate must approve it—if they do, we’ll fall back for the last time in November 2026, and spring forward into permanent DST starting March 2027. With many states already adopting DST year-round, this federal bill would unify—or at least harmonize—the nation’s timekeeping.
