Congress Moves Forward on Ending Clock Changes

On July 15, 2026, Congress made a significant move toward stopping the twice-yearly clock changes. The House approved the Sunshine Protection Act, aiming to establish Daylight Saving Time as a permanent fixture across the United States. The bipartisan measure now proceeds to the Senate, where a similar initiative had previously stalled.

Geoff Bennett engaged with Cott Yates from the Lock the Clock Alliance to discuss the motivation behind ceasing the clock changes.
