On Tuesday, the Sunshine Protection Act passed the House in a 308-171 vote. The bill, which has received the backing of President Donald Trump, is part of a yearslong effort to end the biannual clock change that the majority of the U.S. has observed for decades. The measure now heads to the Senate, where its future is uncertain.

Supporters of making Daylight Saving Time permanent have noted that the biannual clock change is unpopular among Americans, and argued that year-round Daylight Saving Time would promote more outdoor activity, as well as reduce traffic accidents and lower crime.
Year-round Daylight Saving Time would mean that the sun would appear to rise an hour later in the morning in the winter and set an hour later in the evening. What exactly that would look like, though, would vary depending on where you live, as the westernmost parts of some time zones already experience sunrises and sunsets an hour—or even longer—after the easternmost parts.
Other cities, meanwhile, would see an even later sunrise. In Dallas, the sunrise on Jan. 15 would be around 8:30 a.m. local time, while the sunset would be shortly after 6:40 p.m. local time, according to AccuWeather. In Indianapolis, locals wouldn’t see the sun until after 9 a.m. their time on Jan. 15, AccuWeather predicted.
This isn’t the first time the U.S. government has tried to make Daylight Saving Time year-round: in 1974, the country observed permanent Daylight Saving Time—but only for a few months. The change proved to be widely unpopular because people were getting up and going to work and school in the dark, since the sunrise didn’t occur until later in the morning, and the clock changes were soon reintroduced.
