In a unanimous voice vote, the Senate passed a bill that would make daylight savings time permanent, potentially putting an end to twice-annual time changes.

The measure, called the Sunshine Protection Act, will now go to the House. If passed, it will head to President Joe Biden’s desk for approval.
