US House passes bill to make daylight saving time permanent
House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted on Tuesday to pass a bill making daylight saving time permanent and ending the twice-yearly practice of changing clocks that has been observed across most of the United States since the 1960s.
If enacted, clocks would no longer return to standard time in November, though states could opt out of year-round daylight saving time if they do not observe it currently or voted to adopt permanent standard time before the law was changed.
On Monday, House lawmakers rejected a request to vote on an alternative proposal that would have made standard time, rather than daylight saving time, permanent.
