Infact verdict: Mostly True (68/100).
The claims regarding the Sunshine Protection Act and related daylight saving time issues have varying degrees of support. The claim that the House of Representatives approved the Sunshine Protection Act is false, as confirmed by Snopes and other sources.

The claim about nearly 20 states passing legislation for permanent daylight saving time is well-supported by multiple sources. The factual assertion that Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe daylight saving time is a well-known fact, confirmed by several sources. Lastly, the AP-NORC survey result about American opinions on daylight saving time is corroborated by multiple reliable sources.
