Year around daylight? [View all]
The House was expected to vote on it Thursday. Did it?
Yes.
WASHINGTON, May 21 (Reuters) - Daylight saving time would stay in effect year-round under a U.S. House proposal that advanced on Thursday, reviving an idea that Americans weary of biannual clock switching have long supported but has repeatedly fizzled in Congress.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee voted 48-1 in favor of the Sunshine Protection Act, which would likely implement the change as part of a five-year transportation bill.

The bill still must pass the full U.S. House, and then the U.S. Senate would consider whether to take up the measure, which faces opposition from Republican Tom Cotton and others.
Cotton has said it would result in absurdly late winter sunrises and force children to go to school in darkness in much of the country. The law would allow states to opt out.
Representative Vern Buchanan, who has put forward the idea every year since 2018, proposed it again this year. The plan is popular in the lawmaker’s home state of Florida because it would allow more evening hours of play on golf courses and sports fields.
