# U.S. House Passes Bill to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed legislation to make daylight saving time permanent across the country. The bill, colloquially referred to as the effort to "ditch the switch," seeks to eliminate the practice of changing clocks between standard time and daylight saving time.
Daylight saving time is the period between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the United States are set one hour ahead of standard time. Currently, Americans adjust their clocks twice yearly during this transition, moving clocks forward in spring and backward in fall.
The House voted to adopt permanent daylight saving time, though the specific reasons cited for this decision include considerations about the impacts of the twice-yearly clock changes. The passage of this legislation represents a significant step toward potentially ending the seasonal time adjustments that have been standard practice in most U.S. states.
