Today could be the last time that people in the United States need to spring their clocks forward for daylight saving time.
Sen. Marco Rubio reintroduced the"Sunshine Protection Act" of 2023 into the Senate last week, which seeks to make daylight saving time permanent and eliminate the"fall back" of clocks in the fall. Daylight saving time is currently observed for eight months of the year, with most states falling back to"standard time" for four months in the winter.
Rep. Vern Buchanan introduced companion legislation in the House of Representatives, citing economic and health benefits. Rubio's legislation passed the Senate unanimously last year but was killed in the House after it was never brought to a vote. However, if Rubio's legislation passes, it does not require every state to observe daylight saving, allowing those that already observe a permanent standard time, such as Hawaii and portions of Arizona, to continue doing so.
