Daylight Saving Debate: Stalled Time Change Legislation

On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate revisited the stalled initiative to make daylight saving time permanent, a move aimed at ending the practice of changing clocks twice a year. However, consensus remains elusive.

Senator Rick Scott and several other senators advocated for the bill, which had seen unanimous approval back in March 2022. Yet, Senator Tom Cotton voiced opposition, hindering any expedited passing of the bill.

The debate around daylight saving time has long captured congressional attention, even gaining backing from former President Donald Trump. Despite a legislative hearing this year, the issue remains unresolved as standard time is set to resume in the U.S. on Sunday.
