Daylight saving time returns to the U.S. on Sunday and is scheduled to end in early November as usual unless Congress decides it's time for a change.
House lawmakers couldn't decide last year whether to keep daylight savings year-round or abandon it altogether and stick to standard time, according to a November statement from Congressman Frank Pallone, the New Jersey Democrat who was then chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee.
"We don't want to make a hasty change and then have it reversed several years later after public opinion turns against it — which is exactly what happened in the early 1970s," Pallone said.Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call Inc. via Getty Images Sen. Marco Rubio, the Florida Republican who sponsored the bill that the Senate passed last year, has introduced a new version for the chamber to consider."This ritual of changing time twice a year is stupid," RubioFlorida's other Republican senator, Rick Scott, and some of their colleagues in the GOP — Sens. Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama — have backed the bill.
So have some Democrats, who hold a slim majority in the Senate. Sens. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Ed Markey of Massachusetts, Alex Padilla of California, Tina Smith of Minnesota and Ron Wyden of Oregon support the bill, with Wyden calling for"a stop to the twice-a-year time-change madness." Another Florida Republican, Congressman Vern Buchanan, has introduced a companion bill in the House, where the GOP gained control in the midterm elections. BuchananDaylight saving time isn't observed in Hawaii, most of Arizona and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The bill would allow them to remain exempt.
