Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) has been a longtime supporter of this bill and has introduced it to Congress yearly since 2018.<\/span> <span>Buchanan posted<\/span><span> on Tuesday, \u201cToday, the House took an important step toward ending the outdated practice of changing our clocks by passing my Sunshine Protection Act.\u201d Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) added to the House discussion saying, \u201cLet\u2019s stop asking Americans to reset their clocks every March and November. Let\u2019s provide some certainty and consistency and a little more sunshine at the end of the day.\u201d Following the House vote of the Sunshine Protection Act, Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-Tn.) played the famous Beatles song, <\/span><i><span>Here Comes the Sun<\/span><\/i><span> to celebrate the bill\u2019s passage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Other pro \u201clock the clock\u201d representatives in the House said permanent DST will promote active lifestyles for families in the evenings and significantly reduce street crime in areas where darkness originally provided cover. Additionally, they say moving to a permanent time schedule will improve young children\u2019s sleep and save money on the many dollars spent changing clocks annually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>President Donald Trump has long advocated for this switch in America. He<\/span> <span>posted<\/span><span>, \u201cIt\u2019s time that people can stop worrying about the \u201cClock,\u201d not to mention all of the work and money that is spent on this ridiculous, twice yearly production.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/?p=995\">The Spectacle Ep. 440: Mitch McConnell\u2019s \u2018Proof of Life\u2019 Really Proved Nothing<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Florida was the first state to ever pass permanent DST in the U.S. and many Florida legislators have since advocated for a nationwide bill. However, many states such as Hawaii and Arizona already have permanent Standard Time laws, giving the morning hours the extra sunshine instead of the evening. The current debate is not DST vs. the status quo, but DST vs. Standard Time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Dissenters against the act argue dark mornings will lead to economic consequences and safety issues for children traveling to school, and these concerns outweigh the benefits of brighter evenings. Some responses on X accused congressmen who voted for DST of giving the country an economic boost, saying they are pandering to golf industries, restaurants, and other retailers who would benefit from evening sunlight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The bill now heads towards the U.S. Senate, where its chances of passing are not assured. Currently the Senate companion legislation (<\/span><span>S. 29<\/span><span>) has 18 cosponsors. These include Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) who<\/span> <span>advocated for the bill saying<\/span><span>, \u201cI\u2019m thrilled that the house has finally passed it. The Senate needs to take it up NOW and send it to President Trump\u2018s desk.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Time is more than just what appears on our clocks. Increased morning light could mean safe commutes. Brighter evenings would positively affect local economies and give American families the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors after work and school. As the Senate weighs whether to make DST permanent, they would do well to consider these factors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/?p=993\">Don\u2019t Let Democrats Win the Affordability Debate<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A most wonderful article<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":998,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsfeed"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
