Sunshine Protection Act: Will Daylight Saving Time Become Permanent?
The two documents provided are about Daylight Saving Time (DST), a period when clocks are advanced one hour. The first source, a Congressional Research Service report, provides a historical overview of DST in the United States, including its implementation, various legislative changes, and potential effects on energy consumption, safety, and health. The second source, a bill from the 117th Congress, proposes making DST permanent by repealing the temporary period for DST and advancing standard time by one hour across the country. The bill also includes provisions for states that have exempted themselves from DST.
