As this bill gains traction, 19 U.S. States stand ready to lock the clocks.

No more Fall Back, Spring Forward cycles.

Yes please keep it at DST. Wish this was done and over with already. The papers were signed years ago so why the hold up still? I already don’t change those clocks you have to change manually in protest. But then I did brake my favorite clock not long ago so that thing was changed permanently. In fact its at a standstill permanently now. 😛 🙃!--tgqphd|[]-->

Actually, now that I'm retired, I go to bed and wake up whenever I feel like it. So the change doesn't affect me.

Been there, done that, and still do that.

We voted on it in CA, it passed, and nothing was done.

Sleep experts argue that reverting to year-round Standard Time would be healthier for humans. It aligns more with natural circadian biology & offers more public health & safety benefits.

DST began in 1918 as a WWI wartime measure to conserve fuel.
From 1942-1945, DST went year-round and was dubbed “War Time.”
In 1966, DST was standardized nationwide and revised in 2007 to the clock-change schedule we use now.
DST is not observed in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and most of Arizona.

I think this is a GREAT idea, that was appropriate for what we did decades ago, and switching the time twice a year is NOT needed today

Even though I’ll never get that missing hour back, I’m all for ending disruptive clock changes.
