众议院周二以308票对117票通过了一项两党法案，在全国范围内永久实行夏令时。
法案通过后，临时议长斯科特·德贾莱用手机对着麦克风播放了甲壳虫乐队的歌曲《太阳来了》的开头几小节。
名为“2025年阳光保护法”的法案将结束每年两次的时钟变更，但允许各州选择退出。
这项立法现在已经提交到参议院，在那里它的命运是不确定的。2022年，参议院通过了一个类似的版本，但众议院没有采纳。
这项措施得到了唐纳德·特朗普总统的支持。

根据一份政府政策声明，“这项两党立法代表了一项受欢迎的常识性改革，将通过保护晚上宝贵的日光而使美国人受益，因为晚上人们最有可能醒着并活跃起来。”
众议院能源和商务主席布雷特·格思里敦促他的同事在投票前投票支持这项立法。
格思里在发言中说:“《阳光保护法》将冬季一小时的阳光从白天转移到了晚上。”。
House passes bipartisan bill to make daylight saving time permanent
The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bipartisan bill to make daylight saving time permanent nationwide by a vote of 308-117.
Speaker Pro Tempore Rep. Scott DeJarlais played the opening bars of The Beatles' song “Here Comes the Sun” from his phone into the microphone once the bill passed.
The bill entitled the “Sunshine Protection Act of 2025” would end the twice-yearly changing of the clocks but would allow states to opt out.
The legislation now heads to the Senate, where its fate is uncertain. In 2022, the Senate passed a similar version, but it was not taken up in the House.
The measure has President Donald Trump’s support.
