Standard vs. Daylight saving time: Search ZIP code to see change
The article discusses the status of the Sunshine Protection Act, which aims to make daylight saving time permanent in the United States. It provides historical context on time-keeping legislation and explains the potential impact of the bill on sunrise and sunset times.
Why it matters
The potential end of the 'fall back' clock change affects public health, energy consumption, and daily routines for millions of Americans.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill back in July that would make daylight saving time permanent. Since then, the Sunshine Protection Act has stalled in the Senate, meaning the clocks "fall back" an hour on Halloween weekend. The Sunshine Protection Act passed the House 308-117. Making daylight saving time permanent would mean using the time zone year-round that people now set clocks to from March to November. President Donald Trump has backed making the time zone permanent, writing on Truth Social in May, "It’s time that people can stop worrying about the 'Clock,' not to mention all of the work and money that is spent on this ridiculous, twice yearly production." Daylight saving time occurs from March to November each year in the U.S. On the second Sunday in March, clocks spring forward. When it ends on the first Sunday in November, clocks fall back.
