Hi geno_blast, the Sunshine Protection Act, which proposed to establish permanent daylight saving time in the US, was reintroduced to the Senate by Senator Marco Rubio of Florida. The bill was passed by the Senate last year before inaction by the House caused it to expire at the end of 2022. The AASM, like many professional medical societies, supports permanent standard time, because evidence has shown it is the better option for health and safety.
