The US House of Representatives passed a bill to extend daylight saving time year-round, a move driven by Trump and the golf industry's motives.
The US House of Representatives passed a bill to extend daylight saving time year-round, but the golf industry casts a shadow over Trump's push for it.
The fight over daylight saving time is heating up after the House passed President Trump’s bill to stop Americans from changing their clocks twice a year. • • Supporters say permanent daylight saving time would end disrupted schedules, give families more evening sunlight, and boost businesses across multiple industries. • • But airlines are warning the change could ripple through aviation, impacting sunrise times, passenger schedules, crew and aircraft positioning, and coordination with global flight networks. Sleep experts are also pushing back, arguing permanent standard time is healthier than permanent daylight saving time because it better lines up with the body’s natural clock. • • @Grady_Trimble has more.
The US House of Representatives has approved abolishing the annual clock change. Supporters of the bill believe that eliminating the clock change will improve sleep quality, reduce the number of accidents and workplace injuries, and have a positive impact on the economy. The document, supported by 308 congressmen with 117 votes against, is sent to the Senate for consideration. The bill was supported by President Donald Trump. The practice of changing clocks twice a year has been in effect in most of the United States since the 1960s. In Russia, seasonal clock changes have not been carried out since 2014.

Will daylight saving time become permanent after House passes bill?
Thune on what will happen with Daylight Saving Time bill that passed House yesterday: “Hold that thought.” • • “We’re talking about that … We’ll see, there are some other options”
Trump was putting a lot of pressure on them… The US House of Representatives passed a bill making Daylight Saving Time permanent. It is now going to the Senate. It is unclear whether it will pass the Senate. There is opposition from both parties. If it becomes law, it will get light around 9 am in Washington in winter. This practice was tried in the 1970s but was immediately abolished due to accidents caused by children going to school in the dark during winter months and intense public complaints.
House votes 308-117 to end the tyranny of daylight savings time, signing onto ‘ditch the switch’ bill
The US House of Representatives passes a bill to make daylight saving time year-round, with Trump's support.
House passes bill to ‘ditch the switch’ and make daylight saving time permanent
No. • • - The House had never passed the Sunshine Protection Act until today. • • - The Senate *did* pass this bill in 2022, in a surprise vote that some senators missed. But it died in the House, as I wrote at the time. • •
Important point on the DST bill opt-out: states could only opt-out of year-round DST if they had already voted to observe permanent time before the bill was enacted -- and would not be allowed to maintain the current 238-day per year DST
What is this event about?
This market will resolve to "Yes" if the US House passes the Sunshine Protection Act or other legally binding legislation that would end the twice-annual clock-switching in the United States by July 17, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
A qualifying bill does not need to pass as a standalone bill or be titled exactly as above, but it must contain legally operative provisions that, if enacted, would end the twice-annual clock-switching in the United States.
Non-binding resolutions, including simple or concurrent resolutions that merely express the sense of the House, recommend that states change their timekeeping policies, or otherwise call for an end to clock-switching without legally implementing such a change, will not qualify.
The resolution source will be official U.S. federal government publications (e.g., https://www.congress.gov) however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
