Senate Unanimously Approves The Sunshine Protection Act

Called the Sunshine Protection Act, a bill was unanimously passed by the Senate to permanently end the biannual change of time called Daylight Savings Time. Daylight Savings Time is infamous for messing up sleep schedules, and if this bill is also taken up by the House and signed by Joe Biden, then we will officially not be “falling back” an hour in November 2023. Marco Rubio of Florida stated that it was important that the act would not be set into motion until next year because transportation like railroads and planes, technology like computers and phones, and other companies still operate on the Daylight Savings time schedule.
