House passes bill to make daylight saving time permanent, Senate path uncertain.
The U.S. House passed the Sunshine Protection Act with a 308-117 vote to make daylight saving time permanent nationwide. The bill now moves to the Senate, where Majority Leader John Thune has not committed to bringing it to a vote and Senator Tom Cotton has expressed opposition. President Trump has indicated he would sign the legislation if it reaches his desk.
