Falling back, springing forward — but maybe not for much longer
JULY 15, 2026
Six bills walk into Congress and somehow still can't tell time. One is looking hopeful.
After years of false starts, Congress is finally within reach of ending one of the most universally hated rituals in American life: changing the clocks twice a year.
The House Rules Committee voted 6-4 Monday to advance Florida Republican Rep. Vern Buchanan's Sunshine Protection Act to the full House floor, teeing up a chamber-wide vote on making daylight saving time permanent nationwide.
'Ridiculous, twice-yearly production.'
States such as Hawaii and Arizona, which already skip the twice-yearly changeover, would keep their exemptions.
President Donald Trump has backed the bill, calling the current system a "ridiculous, twice-yearly production" and predicting that passing it would be a win for Republicans.
