Should the U.S. keep Daylight Savings?
The Sunshine Protection Act is co-sponsored by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
"I know this is not the most important issue confronting America, but it's one of those issues where there's a lot of agreement," Rubio said Tuesday. The bill passed with no opposition. It now heads to the House for consideration. If passed and signed by President Joe Biden, the new law would take effect in November 2023 to give time for industries to adjust.
