**Bipartisan Push to End Daylight Saving Time Gains Momentum Amid Health and Economic Concerns**

 

**Washington, D.C.** – In a rare show of unity, Republicans and Democrats are joining forces to eliminate Daylight Saving Time (DST), citing growing evidence of its negative impacts on public health, safety, and the economy. The proposed **"Sunshine Protection Act"** could finally put an end to the century-old time-switching practice.  

**Why Lawmakers Want Change**  

✔ **Health Risks:** Studies link DST transitions to increased heart attacks, strokes, and sleep disorders.  

✔ **Economic Costs:** Businesses lose billions annually due to disrupted productivity and workplace injuries.  

✔ **Public Safety:** More car accidents and pedestrian fatalities occur in the weeks following time changes.  

**The Political Shift**  

- **GOP Support:** Conservatives argue DST is outdated government overreach.  

- **Dems’ Stance:** Progressives emphasize health equity and worker safety.  

- **Public Demand:** 63% of Americans favor permanent standard time (AP-NORC poll).  

 **What’s Next?**  

The bill faces hurdles but could gain traction before the next scheduled time change. If passed, the U.S. would join countries like Japan and India that use fixed time year-round.
