House moves to make daylight saving time permanent as Trump backs ending twice-yearly clock changes

Daylight saving time would stay in effect year-round under a US 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. Supporters of the measure say the time ​shift causes sleep disturbances, greater workplace injuries and more car crashes.
