Yes, you will still have to move your clocks ahead by one hour on Sunday despite some legislative approval last year.

March 12th marks the beginning of Daylight Savings Time, an annual rite of spring and a tradition that dates back to World War II when the United States government was looking for a way to save on energy. You might remember efforts to make Daylight Savings Time permanent last year with Wisconsin’s U.S. Senators Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin uniting behind Senator Marco Rubio’s Sunshine Protection Act last year. The bill never got past the House of Representatives however as an agreement could not be reached on whether Daylights Savings Time or Standard Time should be made permanent.

Rubio reintroduced the Sunshine Protection Act on March 2nd with hopes that a new Republican majority could push the bill to President Joe Biden’s desk. Proponents to keep Daylight Savings Time permanent say it will promote safety and active lifestyles while opponents believe it could mess with sleep patterns and productivity. If approved, November 20th could be the last time you have to adjust your clocks.

Fire departments urge you to use the switch as a reminder to check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
