Infact verdict: True (92/100).
The claims regarding Daylight Saving Time legislation are well-supported by multiple credible sources. The US House has indeed passed a measure to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, known as the Sunshine Protection Act, which is awaiting Senate approval. President Trump supported this measure when it advanced out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Additionally, 19 states have enacted legislation to switch to year-round Daylight Saving Time if Congress allows it. Historically, Congress attempted to adopt permanent Daylight Saving Time in 1974, but it was repealed due to public opposition. In 2025, a bipartisan effort to pass a similar measure was blocked by Sen. Tom Cotton. These findings are corroborated by reputable sources such as NPR, FactCheck.org, and Politico.
