Time Changes Could End, Expert Says
### Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time could become a thing of the past if a new bill proposed by U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is passed.
The Sunshine Protection Act of 2023 would make Daylight Saving Time permanent in the United States, eliminating the need for biannual time changes.
### Rubio argues that ending time changes would provide a number of benefits, including:
### The Sunshine Protection Act has received support from a number of organizations, including the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the National Safety Council.
### If the bill is passed, the United States would join a growing number of countries that have eliminated time changes. In 2019, the European Union voted to end Daylight Saving Time in 2021.
### Whether or not the United States will follow suit remains to be seen. However, the Sunshine Protection Act has sparked a renewed debate about the merits of time changes.
