U.S. House to Vote on Permanent Daylight Saving Time This Summer as 19 States Weigh Changes

Summary
A U.S. House vote on making daylight saving time permanent is expected this summer, with President Trump backing the push to end twice-yearly clock changes.
In Wisconsin, the shift would be felt most in winter, when sunrise could come as late as 8:45 a.m. while evening daylight lasts longer.
The split reflects a broader trade-off: tourism and some residents favor later evening light, while the American Academy of Sleep Medicine says permanent daylight saving could worsen “social jet lag.”
Only Arizona and Hawaii do not observe daylight saving time now, and 19 states — including Wisconsin — have proposed legislation as lawmakers debate whether to lock in daylight saving or standard time.
