Trump Praises House Panel For Passing Daylight Savings Time Bill

“Floridians and Americans across the country are tired of the biannual time change, and the evidence is clear that permanent daylight saving time can improve public health, reduce traffic accidents, lower crime and encourage more outdoor activity,” he said in a statement.

“Ending the clock change is a commonsense reform that will improve everyday life for millions of Americans,” he added.

The Sunshine Protection Act would require states that do not opt out before the law takes effect to permanently observe the time currently used between March and November under daylight saving time.

Hawaii and most of Arizona would remain exempt because they already observe standard time year-round and do not participate in daylight saving time changes.
