In May, the House Energy and Commerce Committee ‌voted 48-1 in favor of the Sunshine Protection Act. The U.S. Senate voted unanimously in March 2022 to make daylight saving time permanent but the House never took up the measure in the face ​of opposition. The proposal the House will consider next week would allow states ​to opt out.

    So is this making “spring forward” permanent, or “fall back” permanent?

      No, it’s about eliminating those.

      Edit: Not sure why the downvotes. It’s pretty clear that this would remove the twice-yearly changes.
