BREAKING: U.S. SENATE PASSES BILL TO MAKE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME PERMANENT
The U.S. Senate approved a bill that will make daylight saving time permanent. 
The Senate unanimously voted on Tuesday in favor of the Sunshine Protection Act, according to The Hill. The bill would end the time change from daylight saving time to standard time, meaning Americans would no longer have to change their clocks twice a year.
Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse both tweeted on Tuesday about the bill’s approval.
“This is a big, sensible step forward,” Whitehouse announced on his Twitter.
The bill still needs to be approved by the House of Representatives before it can be signed into law.
Daylight saving time resumed on Sunday as many Americans set their clocks one hour ahead. Standard time will resume in November 2022. Reuters reported if the bill is signed into law, the change would not take place until November 2023.
According to an Associated Press poll, most Americans want to stop switching between daylight saving and standard time, but are divided on which should be used all year.
