Key takeaways

  • Last month, the language of the Sunshine Protection Act was included in a larger transportation funding package that passed through the House Energy and Commerce Committee and is bound for the full House.
  • President Trump quickly put his support behind the daylight saving time aspect, which would mean our clocks would not fall back in November.
