The Sunshine Protection Act was passed in the Senate today by unanimous consent, meaning no one opposed it.

If enacted, this would mean that Americans no longer need to change their clocks by “Springing forward” and “Falling back” every year.

“Daylight saving time started in the U.S. in 1918 to create more daylight hours during warmer months. It was extended by four weeks starting in 2007,” @Yahoo reports.

“States are not required to follow daylight saving time — Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe it. Under the legislation, states with areas exempt from daylight saving time would be permitted to choose standard time for those areas.”

If the House passes the bill, then it will head to president #JoeBiden’s desk to be signed into law.

What do you all think of the Sunshine Protection Act being passed? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 #BWLM💕
