FALL BACK! DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IS NOVEMBER 6th Daylight Saving Time may soon become a thing of the past. Forty-eight states currently observe Daylight Saving Time and adjust their clocks twice a year. In March 2022, the U.S. Senate passed the Sunshine Act (S. 623); this bipartisan bill sought to make Daylight Saving Time permanent across the United States. Advocates say that ending the Daylight Saving Time change would enable children to play outdoors later, boost local businesses, and reduce seasonal depression. Although the Sunshine Act is stalled in the House, some states have taken proactive steps. Georgia's governor, Brian Kemp, signed legislation in April 2021 making Daylight Saving Time permanent upon approval from Congress. The South Carolina legislature passed a similar law in 2020. With more and more support from around the country, it looks like the sun is setting on the Daylight Saving Time change. By Kayla Fertig, Reference Librarian |
