Congress might make daylight saving time permanent. Experts say another approach could be even better.
Ending the twice-yearly time changes would bring a lot of benefits, but researchers argue that sticking with standard time year-round would be best.
The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent throughout the United States, marking a major step forward in a longstanding effort to end the time changes Americans endure twice a year. The bill, called the Sunshine Protection Act, must now be approved by the Senate before it can become law.
Plans to enact permanent daylight saving time have been proposed in some form every year for nearly a decade, but the idea may finally have the votes to become a reality thanks to broad bipartisan support and vocal backing from President Trump.

Just sayin': Apparently the bill has bipartisan support and might actually get enacted this year.
