The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted on Tuesday to pass ‌a bill making daylight saving time permanent and ending the twice-yearly practice of changing clocks that has been observed across most of the United States since the 1960s.

The 308-117 vote sends the bill to the Senate. If enacted, clocks would no longer return to standard time in November, though ​states could opt out of year-round daylight saving time if they do not observe it currently or voted ​to adopt permanent standard time before the law was changed.
