What happened
The House voted 308-117 Tuesday to pass the Sunshine Protection Act, a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide and end the twice-yearly clock changes. The measure would keep clocks on the time now observed from March to November, while allowing states to remain on standard time if an exemption is in effect before the law takes effect. The bill now moves to the Senate, where its prospects are uncertain, before it could go to the president. President Donald Trump and the White House support the change.
