HR 139 – Sunshine Protection Act: AYE

July 14, 2026 Vote Notes on Legislation This bill ends the pointless time change that has plagued our country for more than a century, and makes Daylight Savings Time permanent.  I would much prefer to see us shift to Standard Time, which centers noon at the sun’s apex – thus avoiding driving to work or school in the dark during winter months.  Daylight Time was once tried and abandoned for this reason.  But whether Daylight or Standard Time, getting rid of the annoying “spring ahead fall back” nonsense is a good thing. Congressman McClintock today voted AYE on the Houuse Floor on HR 139. Issues : Government Regulation
