A bipartisan group of U.S. senators is making a renewed legislative effort to make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent. Senators, including Markey, Rubio, Tuberville, and Scott, have expressed their support for ending the biannual clock change. Senator Marco Rubio has introduced legislation, known as the Sunshine Protection Act, aimed at making DST permanent across the United States. This initiative has garnered support from various senators who have highlighted the inconvenience and unnecessary nature of changing clocks twice a year. The bill had previously passed unanimously in the Senate in March 2022 but faced obstacles in the House. Advocates for the bill argue that making DST permanent would eliminate the disruption caused by the current practice of 'springing forward' and 'falling back,' benefiting the public by providing more daylight in the evenings.

Abolish daylight savings time.
When you spring forward this weekend, it should be the last time we change the clocks. Congress needs to pass the Sunshine Protection Act and #LockTheClock once and for all! https://t.co/j00wzaPy5J

Is it time to abolish Daylight Savings?
It's that time of year again, where we needlessly lose an hour of sleep and disrupt schedules to set our clocks for the start of #DaylightSavingTime. Still hoping our bill to #LockTheClock finds its way to the President's desk so we can end this irrational practice. https://t.co/hPfS0YoTU4
Changing our clocks twice a year is inconvenient and entirely unnecessary. It’s time to end this antiquated practice and pass my bill with @SenMarcoRubio to make daylight savings time permanent.

We need to #LockTheClock. It’s time Congress acts. I’m proud to be leading the bipartisan Sunshine Protection Act with @SenMarcoRubio to get this done. When I was Governor of FL, I signed this bill into law on the state level. Now it’s Washington’s turn.https://t.co/uKaXs9YTa0
Should Daylight Savings Time be permanent?
When you're frustrated because you lost an hour this weekend due to Daylight Saving Time, remember—we don't need to do this. I have a bill that would stop the clock changing and make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Let's get it passed.
This weekend should be the LAST time our clocks “spring forward.” We should never “fall back” again. Let’s make Daylight Saving time PERMANENT. https://t.co/SSAzIxOmH0
