Photo: Photo: Alexi Rosenfeld via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>The Senate passed a measure that would make daylight saving time permanent across the U.S.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> If the legislation clears the House and is signed into law by President Biden, it will mean Americans will no longer have to change their clocks twice a year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details:<\/strong> The bill \u2014 the Sunshine Protection Act co-sponsored by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) \u2014 was passed by unanimous consent.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It would make daylight saving time permanent in 2023.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The big picture:<\/strong> Health groups have called for an end to the seasonal shifting of clocks, a ritual first adopted in the U.S. more than a century ago. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At a house hearing last week, health experts cited sleep deprivation and health problems as negative effects associated with changing clocks. <\/li>\n<li>Nearly two-thirds of Americans want to stop changing their clocks, according to a 2021 Economist\/YouGov poll.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What they&#x27;re saying:<\/strong> &quot;No more dark afternoons in the winter. No more losing an hour of sleep every spring. We want more sunshine during our most productive waking hours,&quot; Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said on the Senate floor after the passage of the bill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But, but, but: <\/strong>In the 1970s \u2014 the last time Congress made daylight saving time permanent \u2014 the decision was reversed in less than a year after the early morning darkness proved dangerous for school children and public sentiment changed. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#x27;s next: <\/strong>Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) will lead a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling for immediate House passage of his bill, Axios has learned.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2022\/03\/15\/daylight-saving-time-bill-senate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Statue of Liberty during the first sunset after daylight saving time began as seen from the Brooklyn Bridge on March 14.
