Quick Summary

The US Senate has passed a bill allowing states to remain on standard time permanently if they choose to do so, as part of a proposed law that would also make daylight saving time (DST) permanent across the country by November 7, 2023. The bill still needs approval from the House and President before becoming a law. If it passes, eight states - including Hawaii and Arizona - which have opted out of DST, could remain exempt or choose to stay on standard time. Lawmakers are considering making DST permanent in response to concerns over its health effects.

Story summary

Lawmakers in the US are considering making daylight saving time (DST) permanent, which would mean no more bi-annual clock changes. The debate has been ongoing, with some arguing for keeping DST year-round, while others prefer to stick with the current system of changing clocks twice a year. The proposal is expected to come into effect by August 19, 2026 if it passes.
