Analysis Summary
The House voted 308-117 on July 14, 2026 to pass the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide and eliminate the twice-yearly clock changes. The bill passed with significant bipartisan support including Trump administration backing, but faces an uncertain path in the Senate where concerns about circadian rhythm effects and road safety remain unresolved. The Senate previously passed a similar version four years ago but it stalled in the House at that time, making this House passage a major procedural milestone despite uncertain final passage odds.
