House Passes Bill to Make Daylight-Saving Time Permanent

The US House will vote Tuesday on a measure to enact year-round Daylight Saving Time across the country, springing Congress forward into an issue that has long stumped lawmakers and spurred impassioned pleas by parents, farmers and others with sharply divergent views.

The House vote comes after President Donald Trump publicly pushed for Congress to pass the legislation.

Americans in most states will see their winter clocks stay one hour later than usual if Congress passes a proposal to make daylight saving time permanent, ending the twice-yearly ritual of changing clocks.

The House of Representatives could soon vote on a bill that could leave states to decide what time it is.
