Sen. Marco Rubio vowed to fight to make daylight saving time permanent in the new year as the House prepared to leave town this week without voting on Senate-passed legislation that would stop the seasonal changing of the clocks.
Mr. Rubio, Florida Republican, said he is disappointed the other chamber dawdled on his Sunshine Protection Act after the Senate approved it by unanimous consent in March.
The bill would have made daylight saving time or DST permanent in 2023. It eased through the Senate as an increasing number of lawmakers say changing the clocks every March and November is a silly and antiquated act.
