For the first time, the House of Representatives has approved a bill aimed at making daylight saving time permanent. This legislative move marks a significant shift in how time is regulated across the United States.

On July 22, 2026, the House successfully passed the Sunshine Protection Act of 2025 with substantial bipartisan support. The final vote stood at 308 in favor and 117 against, indicating a strong consensus across party lines.

The bill will now advance to the Senate for further deliberation. President Trump has expressed his intention to sign the bill into law if it reaches his desk, signaling potential changes in time regulation soon.
