States Push to End Daylight Saving Time in 2023

Lawmakers in the United States have been debating the future of daylight saving time, with a Senate bill proposing to make it permanent. However, the bill failed to be taken up in the House, and there has been no notable movement on it since. The argument against the bill is that it mandates all states adopt permanent daylight saving time, which doctors and scientists argue is not beneficial for our health. While states could potentially adopt their own time change rules, they are subject to federal limitations. Nineteen states have passed measures pledging to switch to permanent daylight time if Congress allows it, and nine states are actively considering legislation to end daylight saving time by switching to year-round standard time.
