Here’s what permanent daylight saving time would look like in Omaha

OMAHA, Neb. —

The House passed a bill Tuesday that would make daylight saving time permanent.

Proponents, including the White House, argued the change would provide more daylight during the times that Americans are most active.

For Omaha, permanent daylight saving time would mean later sunrises in the morning and more daylight during the evening during the winter.

Daylight saving time is the period between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the United States are set one hour ahead of standard time. States could opt out if their respective legislatures act to do so before the bill’s enactment.

The Senate would also have to pass the bill before it could be signed into law, but it’s unclear if it will do so.
