US Sunshine Protection Act legislative status
Overview
The Sunshine Protection Act, a bill aimed at establishing permanent daylight saving time, remains stalled in the United States Senate despite having previously passed the House of Representatives.
President Donald Trump has actively campaigned for the legislation, labeling the biannual clock changes “ridiculous” and urging the Senate to act to avoid the scheduled reversion to standard time.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune has indicated a lack of consensus regarding the bill. Opposition within the Republican party includes concerns from Senator Tom Cotton regarding late-winter sunrise hardships, and Senator Roger Wicker regarding safety risks for children in northern and rural areas who must commute in the dark.
