When will daylight saving time become permanent?

Lawmakers in the United States have been considering a measure to make daylight saving time permanent since 2018, when Senator Marco Rubio introduced the Sunshine Protection Act, which would eliminate seasonal time changes. Several versions of the bill were introduced, but none passed in the U.S. House of Representatives. Rubio introduced an updated version of the Sunshine Protection Act in the 118th yearTh Congress last March. The bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
