Is the US about to get rid of daylight saving time?

The United States is moving toward ending its twice-yearly daylight saving time adjustments, with the House of Representatives passing the Sunshine Protection Act by a vote of 308-117. This legislation would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide, except for states like Arizona and Hawaii, which currently opt out. However, the bill still needs approval from the Senate and President Donald Trump before becoming law. Supporters argue that eliminating the clock changes would improve safety and convenience, while opponents warn of potential risks associated with darker morning hours. The issue is also being debated in Europe, where the European Parliament supported ending seasonal clock changes in 2019, though member states have yet to reach a consensus.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both sides of the debate regarding daylight saving time, including arguments from supporters and opponents, and provides background information on the legislative process and international perspectives.
