Nineteen US States Seek Permanent Daylight Saving Time Pending Federal Approval
Nineteen US states have passed legislation to adopt permanent daylight saving time, aiming to eliminate biannual clock changes and extend evening daylight. However, under the current federal Uniform Time Act, states cannot implement year-round daylight saving time without Congressional approval. The Sunshine Protection Act, which passed the House and awaits Senate consideration, could enable these states to enact their laws. Some policymakers and medical groups prefer permanent standard time for increased morning light during winter, reflecting ongoing debate.
