Trump-backed Daylight Saving Time bill clears key House hurdle

A bipartisan House committee advanced the Sunshine Protection Act, which would allow states to make Daylight Saving Time permanent with an opt-out option. President Donald Trump supports the measure, which aims to eliminate the twice-a-year clock change, citing benefits like improved public health and economic activity. The bill cleared a key hurdle with a 6-4 vote in the House Rules Committee.
