This Resolution urges the United States House of Representatives to pass, and President Joe Biden to sign, the Sunshine Protection Act of 2021, which would make daylight saving time permanent. The resolution highlights potential benefits of permanent daylight saving time, such as continued energy savings, reduced traffic injuries, and decreased crime, as well as more afternoon daylight for recreation and supporting local businesses, while also referencing concerns about the negative impacts of the twice-yearly clock changes on sleep patterns and mental health, citing public opinion polls and scientific studies.
