19 states have approved permanent daylight saving time: Are we closer to that happening?

Nineteen states are currently poised to eliminate the twice-yearly time change process. This transition to permanent daylight saving time is dependent upon Congress moving forward with the Sunshine Protection Act. If the legislation is approved, these states will no longer shift their clocks twice a year, effectively making daylight saving time a permanent fixture. The possibility of this change remains tied to the federal legislative progress regarding the specific terms of the Sunshine Protection Act.
