When will US end daylight savings time?

The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent — a move that, if passed in the Senate, would end the practice of changing the clocks twice a year.

Known as the Sunshine Protection Act, the bill passed by 308-117 in voting that did not fit neatly down party lines. If it becomes law, it would put most of the U.S. on the time observed between March and November, with states having the option to opt out before the bill takes effect.

Its prospects in the Senate are unclear. For instance, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) has long objected to making daylight saving time permanent and aides said he would ask Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to not bring up the legislation for a vote. One source told Politico that Thune is unlikely to override him.

The issue has been debated since 1918 when the Standard Time Act established daylight saving time in the U.S. — only to be repealed the following year. It was again introduced as an energy-saving measure during World War II between 1942 and 1945 before again coming into force with the Uniform Time Act of 1966.

In 1974, in another energy-saving initiative during the Arab oil embargo, legislation by President Richard Nixon made daylight saving time permanent but it was repealed within the year. The dark mornings were cited as the cause for returning to the previous configuration.

Changing the clocks twice a year is an outdated measure and most Americans support the idea of moving to permanent daylight savings time. By giving people an extra hour of sunlight in the evenings, it would make Americans healthier, reduce crime as well as traffic collisions.

By adopting permanent daylight saving time, the darker mornings in winter would have detrimental impacts on construction workers, farmers and others who have an early start to their day. It would also cause more hazardous commutes for workers and school children, alongside other unintended consequences.

While it's true that most Americans hate the biannual clock changes, how it's achieved makes a difference. Instead of permanent daylight saving time, which puts us out of sync with our natural body clock and has a host of negative health repercussions, Congress should instead be looking at permanent standard time.
