The House passed legislation Tuesday to make daylight saving time permanent, a measure that could end the yearly time change of “springing forward” and “falling back.” 

Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL) has introduced the Sunshine Protection Act every Congress since 2018 before it passed the House by a margin of 308-117 on Tuesday, with 95 Democrats and 22 Republicans voting against the measure. The passage comes after 20 states have made moves to trigger permanent daylight saving time once it is signed into law by the president.
