Depending on what happens in Congress in the coming months, this Sunday’s annual rite of spring could be done for the last time.

Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m., when the clocks will officially move up one hour. Whether you must change those clocks again in November is up to Congress. According to the USA TODAY, legislation has stalled in Washington D.C. repeatedly since 2018. The closest it has gotten was in 2022 when the U.S. Senate unanimously approved it, but it was never approved by the House or President Joe Biden. U.S. Senator Rick Scott and U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan introduced bills to make daylight saving time permanent in their respective chambers. Still, no progress has been made since they were referred to the committee in January. 

Some groups support abolishing daylight saving time and making standard time permanent, forfeiting the additional light for outdoor activities after work and school for a more natural biological circadian rhythm.

Either way, switching the clocks back and forth has been used by homeowners as a reminder to check the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, change furnace filters, and adjust ceiling fan directions.
