Overview

  • Daylight Saving Time concludes at 2 a.m. on November 2 when clocks fall back one hour.
  • A congressional measure introduced in January is under consideration after previous reform efforts stalled.
  • If enacted, the proposal would abolish the biannual clock changes and lock in standard time year-round.
  • The bill would allow regions exempt from DST, such as Arizona and Hawaii, to choose their own standard time settings.
  • Recent polls indicate a majority of Americans support ending the clock shifts due to their inconvenience and uncertain energy benefits.
