Trump Praises House Panel For Passing Daylight Savings Time Bill

A House panel on Thursday overwhelmingly passed legislation to make Daylight Savings Time permanent, thereby eliminating the need for Americans in most of the country to adjust their clocks twice a year.

The committee voted 48-1 to advance the Sunshine Protection Act, introduced by Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.)

The measure was included as part of a broader transportation funding proposal known as the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act.

President Trump praised the panel and said he fully supported the change.

“This is so important in that Hundreds of Millions of Dollars are spent every year by people, Cities, and States, being forced to change their Clocks,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
