The US House of Representatives passed the Sunshine Protection Act on July 14, 2026, by a wide bipartisan margin of 308–117, a move that would place the United States permanently on daylight saving time and eliminate the twice-yearly clock change. President Donald Trump has publicly backed the measure, which now heads to the Senate for consideration. Despite broad public support for ending clock changes — nearly two-thirds of Americans favour abolishing them — health experts, including the American Medical Association, warn that permanent standard time would be the healthier choice, as daylight saving time is linked to increased heart attacks, sleep deprivation, and circadian disruption, particularly among adolescents.
