House Rebukes ‘Fall Back,’ ‘Spring Forward’ In Landslide Vote

/0 Comments/in , /by

The House of Representatives voted 308-117 Tuesday to pass a bill that seeks to make Daylight Saving Time permanent and put an end to switching clocks twice a year.

The Sunshine Protection Act of 2025, introduced by Republican Florida Rep. Vern Buchanan, is backed by President Donald Trump. However, the bill still has to pass the Senate before it reaches the president’s desk.

The bipartisan bill was supported by a majority of members from both parties. However 95 Democrats and 22 Republicans voted against it.

Buchanan praised the passage of his bill saying in a statement sent to the Daily Caller News Foundation that it is an “important step toward ending” an “outdated practice.”

“Permanent daylight saving time will improve public safety, promote healthier and more active lifestyles and give families more daylight to enjoy after work and school,” Buchanan’s statement continued. “I’m grateful to my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for supporting this bipartisan effort, and I urge the Senate to send this long-overdue reform to the president’s desk.” (Read more from “House Rebukes ‘Fall Back,’ ‘Spring Forward’ In Landslide Vote” HERE)
