在众议院周二以压倒性优势通过这项法案后，让夏令时永久化的两党合作提案距离成为法律又近了一步。
议员们以308票对117票投票通过了《阳光保护法案》，该法案将允许各州自愿全年实行夏令时，越来越多的议员呼吁延长晚间日照时间。
“几十年来，我们一直接受‘春季调快一小时、秋季调慢一小时’的惯例，尽管它打乱了日常作息、影响了我们的睡眠，并给全美各地的家庭带来了不必要的困扰，”佛罗里达州共和党众议员凯特·卡马克周二表示，她详细说明了时钟调改如何打乱了她年幼儿子的睡眠节奏。
“别再让美国人在每年3月和11月重置时钟了，”她继续说道，“让我们为大家提供一些确定性和连贯性，让傍晚多一点阳光。”

获特朗普支持的夏令时法案突破众议院关键障碍
该法案在两党议员中存在分歧，大部分来自沿海地区的议员——如路易斯安那州、佛罗里达州和新泽西州——支持永久夏令时，而中西部和农业大州的议员则反对该法案。
民主党议员几乎平分立场，众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党众议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯投下反对票。仅有22名共和党议员投了反对票，包括威斯康星州众议员布莱恩·斯蒂尔、阿肯色州众议员里克·克劳福德、蒙大拿州众议员瑞安·津克和怀俄明州众议员哈丽特·哈格曼。
该法案目前已送交参议院，由于两党议员均存在质疑，其前景仍不明朗。长期呼吁终止每年两次时钟调改的唐纳德·特朗普总统如果收到该法案，预计将予以签署。
白宫在周二发给国会山办公室的一份内部备忘录中敦促议员支持《阳光保护法案》，称其为“一项受欢迎的常识性改革”。
几乎每个州都遵循着这样的惯例：3月将时钟调快一小时以保留更多晚间日照，11月再将时钟调慢一小时。
不过，如果国会批准该做法，已有近20个州通过立法，计划永久实行夏令时。不过，夏威夷州和亚利桑那州大部分地区不实行夏令时。
该法案由佛罗里达州共和党众议员弗恩·布坎南起草，支持者认为，这项法案对于终结调改时钟带来的混乱十分必要，包括打乱儿童日常作息和影响道路安全，同时他们还指出，更长的日照时间将促进旅游业和户外休闲活动的发展。
“更多傍晚的阳光意味着更多与家人共度的时光，更多时间享受当地的餐厅、商店以及佛罗里达州能提供的一切，”佛罗里达州共和党众议员玛丽亚·埃尔维拉·萨拉查在社交媒体上写道，“这是常识。让我们推进这项法案吧。”
不过，部分议员认为，全年实行夏令时将导致美国部分地区冬季日出时间推迟至上午9点之后，这会引发早高峰通勤时段更昏暗的安全隐患，同时也会给农民带来经济挑战——他们可能不得不推迟开工时间。

睡眠医生揭示夏令时对健康的严重负面影响
反对者还表示，全年实行标准时间——也就是早晨拥有更多日照——更符合人体昼夜节律。
“如果我们要做出一项影响所有美国人的永久性改变，我们应该遵循科学，优先考虑美国人的健康，尤其是儿童的健康，”支持全年标准时间的宾夕法尼亚州民主党众议员玛丽·盖伊·斯坎隆在周一的辩论中说道。
斯坎隆还提到了1974年美国短暂尝试全年实行夏令时的经历，当时国会在广泛的公众反对后撤销了该政策。
周二的投票结果出炉之际，半年一次的时钟调改仍不受大多数美国人欢迎，近期民调显示了这一点。
去年12月发布的一项AP-NORC民调发现，仅有12%的美国人支持当前的夏令时制度，近一半的人表示反对。另有40%的受访者表示没有意见。
该民调还发现，支持全年实行夏令时的美国人比支持全年标准时间的人高出14个百分点。

A bipartisan effort to make daylight saving time permanent is one step closer to becoming law after the House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the measure on Tuesday.
Lawmakers voted 308-117 to pass the Sunshine Protection Act, which would allow states to voluntarily observe daylight saving time year-round as a growing mass of lawmakers push to extend daylight into the evening hours.
“For decades, we have accepted this ritual of springing forward and falling back, even though it disrupts routines, throws off our sleep and creates unnecessary frustration for families across the country,” Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., said Tuesday, detailing how the clock changes have disrupted her infant son’s sleep schedule.
“Let’s stop asking Americans to reset their clocks every March and November,” she continued. “Let’s provide some certainty and consistency and a little more sunshine at the end of the day.”

TRUMP-BACKED DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME BILL CLEARS KEY HOUSE HURDLE
The legislation divided lawmakers in both parties, with members largely from coastal areas, such as Louisiana, Florida and New Jersey, supporting permanent daylight saving time and others from the Midwest and agriculture-heavy states opposing it.
Democrats were nearly evenly split, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., opposing it. Just 22 Republicans voted in opposition, including Reps. Bryan Steil, R-Wis.; Rick Crawford, R-Ark.; Ryan Zinke, R-Mont.; and Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo.
The measure now heads to the Senate, where its prospects remain uncertain amid skepticism from members of both parties. President Donald Trump, who has long called for ending the twice-a-year clock changes, is expected to sign the bill if it reaches his desk.
The White House urged lawmakers to support the Sunshine Protection Act in an internal memo sent to Hill offices Tuesday, calling it a “popular, common-sense reform.”
Nearly every state follows the practice of setting clocks forward one hour in March to preserve more evening daylight before “falling back” one hour in November.
But nearly 20 states have already approved legislation to make daylight saving time permanent if Congress authorizes the practice. Hawaii and most of Arizona, however, do not observe daylight saving time.
Proponents argued the legislation, authored by Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., was necessary to end disruptions caused by switching clocks, including to children’s routines and road safety, while arguing longer daylight would boost tourism and outdoor recreation.
“More evening sunshine means more time with family and more time to enjoy our local restaurants, shops, and everything Florida has to offer,” Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., wrote on social media. “It’s common sense. Let’s get it done.”
Some lawmakers, however, argue that year-round daylight saving time would delay winter sunrises until after 9 a.m. in some parts of the country, raising safety concerns about darker morning commutes and economic challenges for farmers who would likely have to start work later.

SLEEP DOCTOR REVEALS THE BRUTAL HEALTH DOWNSIDE OF DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Detractors have also stated that permanent standard time — meaning more light in the mornings — better aligns with circadian rhythms.
“If we’re going to make a permanent change that affects every American, we should follow the science and prioritize Americans’ health, particularly that of the children,” Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa., who favors permanent standard time, said during debate Monday.
Scanlon also pointed to the nation’s brief experiment with year-round daylight saving time in 1974, which Congress reversed after widespread public backlash.
Tuesday’s vote comes as the semiannual clock change remains widely unpopular with Americans, according to recent polling.
An AP-NORC survey released in December found that just 12% of Americans favor the current daylight saving time system, with nearly half opposed. Another 40% of respondents had no opinion.
The survey also found that more Americans support having daylight saving time year-round compared to standard time by a 14-point margin.
