House Weighs Locking The Clock On Daylight Time For Good
A single House bill would scrap the twice-yearly ritual of moving every clock in the country.
- Rep. Vern Buchanan, a Florida Republican, filed it January 3, 2025.
- The bill's stated purpose: 'to make daylight saving time permanent, and for other purposes.'
- The measure carries the number H.R. 139 and the title Sunshine Protection Act.
Why it matters: Eighteen months from filing to a vote shows floor time, not text, is Congress's scarce good.
