The House on Tuesday passed with broad bipartisan support legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide.

The lower chamber voted 308-117 for the Sunshine Protection Act of 2025, which would make daylight saving time the permanent standard time. Twenty-two Republicans and 95 Democrats voted against the measure.

The legislation now heads to the Senate.

Supporters say changing the clocks disrupts sleep, increases workplace injuries and contributes to more ⁠road accidents. They also argue that keeping clocks an hour ahead year-round would provide more evening daylight ​and boost economic activity during the winter months.

Critics say the change would mean the sun rises an hour ​later on winter mornings, leaving more children traveling to school and commuters heading to work before daylight.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly called for an end to the twice-yearly clock changes and strongly supports the measure.

The bill still faces opposition from ​Senator Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, and others. Cotton has argued that permanent daylight saving time would ​result in very late winter sunrises and force children in many parts of the country to go to school in ‌darkness.

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.

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. Hawaii and Arizona do not observe daylight saving time.

Democratic Representative Frank ​Pallone said on Tuesday that commuting and work habits have changed and far fewer school children walk to school. It's time to finally ​end the process of springing forward and falling back, Pallone said.
