  • The Senate passed a bill to move the US to permanent daylight-saving time.
  • Since 1966, most Americans have been used to "springing forward" to begin DST in March.
  • The Sunshine Protection Act of 2021 would end the biannual ritual of changing clocks.

The walls might be closing on the US's twice-a-year ritual of changing clocks.

The US Senate unexpectedly passed the Sunshine Protection Act of 2021, a bipartisan bill to move the US to permanent daylight-saving time, on Tuesday afternoon, two days after most of the country "sprang forward" to begin daylight-saving time.

The chamber quickly approved the bill through unanimous consent, which allows legislation to pass the Senate with a simple voice vote if no senator objects.
