"The Health Impact of Daylight Saving Time: Debating the End of Time Changes"
TL;DR Summary
The Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act in March 2022 to make daylight saving time permanent, but the bill has not progressed in the House. Most states observe daylight saving time, with exceptions being Hawaii and Arizona. The argument against the bill is that it mandates permanent daylight saving time, which some experts argue is not ideal for health. With federal legislation stalled, states are considering their own measures related to time changes, with at least 29 states considering legislation in 2023.
