The twice-yearly switcheroo is irritating enough to lawmakers of all political stripes that the U.S. Senate passed legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. The bill passed by unanimous consent.
It’s almost time for clocks to “fall back” one hour.On the second Sunday of March, at 2 a.m., clocks in most of the United States and many other countries move forward one hour and stay there for nearly eight months in what is called Daylight Saving Time. On the first Sunday of November, at 2 a.m., clocks fall back an hour to standard time.The current March to November system that the US follows began in 2007, but the concept of “saving daylight” is much older.
However, on March 2, a dozen senators forming a bipartisan group reintroduced the legislation that would end clock switching in favor of permanent Daylight Saving Time. Companion legislation to the Sunshine Protection Act was introduced by Rep. Vern Buchanan, a Republican from Florida, in the House.
