Senate Panel Considers Future of Daylight Saving Time
In recent hearings, Senate lawmakers from both parties have come together to discuss the potential abolition of Daylight Saving Time, citing health and economic concerns. Senator Ted Cruz and others highlighted the negative impact of time changes on public health, while a variety of stakeholders, including the NGCOA, presented their views on the issue. Debates centered around whether the United States should eliminate the practice of changing clocks twice a year, with discussions on making Daylight Saving Time permanent gaining traction. As Congress seeks to address this long-standing question, it aims to determine if it is finally time to stop the clock.
