Watch: Americans react to making daylight saving time permanent

Advertisements

The US House of Representatives has voted to make daylight saving time permanent by passing the Sunshine Protection Act on Tuesday.

With a 308-117 vote, members of both parties approved the bill, which would remove the need for Americans to change their clocks twice a year and put the US under time currently observed between March and November – known as permanent standard time.

Now that the House has passed the legislation, the Senate could soon take up its version of the bill. However, its future there is uncertain.

The BBC talked to people in Washington DC about their take on putting a stop to changing their clocks twice a year.
