Senate Faces Uncertainty Over Permanent Daylight Saving Time
The House approved a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, but the Senate has not yet passed it.
By the ClickNNY North Country Desk
The U.S. House of Representatives approved legislation earlier this year that would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide, ending the twice-yearly clock changes. The bill is awaiting action in the Senate, where lawmakers remain divided over the proposal.
Supporters, including President Donald Trump and Sens. Rick Scott, R-Fla., Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., and Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., have backed the measure. Opponents, including Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., have raised concerns about darker winter mornings in northern states. Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., has also pointed to disagreements within states that observe two time zones.
