Daylight Saving Time May Be A Permanent Thing?
Written by Jesse on March 16, 2022
As we were dragging on Monday after springing forward, we couldn’t help but think, why do we still do this? Well, we may not have to change our clocks ever again.
The Senate passed a bill yesterday to make Daylight Saving Time PERMANENT. Now the House has to approve it before the president can sign it into law. It’s called the Sunshine Protection Act, and Marco Rubio has been pushing it for years. It passed by unanimous consent, meaning it didn’t actually go up for a vote, but no one objected to it.
Now, this isn’t a for sure thing. It may not pass the House and President Biden may not sign it either. What’s pretty surprising is that folks from both sides of the aisle offered their support, which is a rarity to say the least.
But if it passes, it wouldn’t go into effect until 2023.
