According to a notice issued on Thursday, the US House of Representatives will vote on a bill next week to make daylight saving time permanent. In May of this year, the House Energy and Commerce Committee passed the Sun Protection Act with 48 votes in favor and 1 against. The Senate voted unanimously to make daylight saving time permanent as early as March 2022, but the House of Representatives never considered the bill due to opposition. The bill to be considered by the House of Representatives next week will allow states to choose not to implement daylight saving time. Daylight saving time means setting the clock one hour faster during the summer months of the year. Since the 1960s, most parts of the US have implemented a daylight saving time system. Proponents of this House bill say that time adjustments can cause sleep disorders, increase the risk of workplace injuries, and the incidence of traffic accidents. They also believe that maintaining a longer period of sunshine in winter evenings will help stimulate more economic activity.
