华盛顿，5月21日（路透社）——美国众议院一项于周四获得推进的提案将使夏令时全年生效，这一想法再次被提出，此前厌倦了每年两次调钟的美国民众长期以来一直支持该提案，但却多次在国会无果而终。
众议院能源与商业委员会以48票赞成、1票反对的投票结果通过了《阳光保护法案》，该法案可能会作为一项五年期交通法案的一部分来实施这一变革。

该法案的支持者表示，调钟会导致睡眠紊乱、职场工伤增多以及更多车祸事故。他们还认为，傍晚天色更亮将在冬季刺激更多经济活动。
唐纳德·特朗普总统在社交媒体上对此次投票表示赞赏，称“现在人们不必再为‘调钟’操心了，更不用说每年两次为这种荒唐事耗费的精力和金钱”。
该法案仍需在整个众议院获得通过，随后美国参议院将考虑是否审议该提案，该法案遭到共和党议员汤姆·科顿等人的反对。
科顿曾表示，该法案将导致冬季日出时间晚得离谱，迫使美国大部分地区的儿童在黑暗中上学。该法律将允许各州选择退出。
众议员弗恩·布坎南自2018年起每年都会提出这一想法，今年再次提出了该提案。该计划在布坎南的家乡佛罗里达州广受欢迎，因为它将让高尔夫球场和运动场拥有更多晚间开放时长。
美国参议院于2022年3月全票通过了这项举措，但众议院从未对该法案进行过投票。
新泽西州民主党众议员弗兰克·帕隆表示，永久夏令时“更有利于安全，还将促进新泽西州的旅游业。我们不要再每年两次调钟了”。
夏令时——即在每年的夏季时段将时钟拨快一小时——自20世纪60年代以来几乎在美国全境实行。
二战期间曾实行全年夏令时，1974年又再次实施，旨在减少能源消耗。但该政策极不受欢迎，同年晚些时候便被废除。

WASHINGTON, May 21 (Reuters) – Daylight saving time would stay in effect year-round under a U.S. 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. They also believe brighter evenings would spur more economic activity during winter.
President Donald Trump praised the vote on social media, saying it’s “time that people can stop worrying about the ‘Clock,’ not to mention all of the work and money that is spent on this ridiculous, twice yearly production.”
The bill still must pass the full U.S. House, and then the U.S. Senate would consider whether to take up the measure, which faces opposition from Republican Tom Cotton and others.
Cotton has said it would result in absurdly late winter sunrises and force children to go to school in darkness in much of the country. The law would allow states to opt out.
Representative Vern Buchanan, who has put forward the idea every year since 2018, proposed it again this year. The plan is popular in the lawmaker’s home state of Florida because it would allow more evening hours of play on golf courses and sports fields.
The U.S. Senate voted unanimously in March 2022 for the move but the House never voted on the measure.
Representative Frank Pallone, a New Jersey Democrat, said permanent daylight saving time is “better for safety and will boost New Jersey’s tourism industry. Let’s stop changing the clocks twice a year.”
Daylight saving time – putting the clocks forward one hour during the summer half of the year – has been in place in nearly all of the United States since the 1960s.
Year-round daylight saving time was used during World War Two and enacted again in 1974 in a bid to reduce energy use. But it was deeply unpopular and repealed later that year.
