Alternative bill to permanent daylight saving time gains support from doctors, lawmakers

An alternative bill to make standard time permanent, the Sunshine for Our Kids Act, is gaining support from doctors and lawmakers, opposing the recently House-passed Sunshine Protection Act that would make daylight saving time permanent. The key difference is the timing of sunrises and sunsets, with the alternative bill aligning mornings with natural light year-round. A 2025 poll shows most Americans oppose biannual clock changes, but preferences split between permanent daylight saving and standard time.
