In the United States, Daylight Savings Time begins on Sunday, March 10, 2024, so US residents–except those in Arizona and Hawaii–will set clocks forward by one hour. However, the future of changing the clocks twice a year is up in the air: in 2021, the US Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act, which, if enacted, would make Daylight Savings time the new, permanent time. We would no longer change our clocks in the fall and the spring. The bill is currently stuck in committee in the US House of Representatives, and its future is uncertain. For the foreseeable future, most US residents will continue to “spring forward” and “fall back.” Locally, efforts have also been made to move away from changing the clocks. In 2019, Oregon’s legislature passed a measure to adopt Daylight Savings Time year-round, but in order to take effect, all West Coast states would have to agree on the change, and this bill stalled without action. Oregonians who dislike the twice-annual clock changes had reason for hope again in early 2024. However, despite a flurry of activity in Salem, the bill to do away with Daylight Savings Time stalled in the legislature and is now dead. For now.
