After World War II, designating the start and end dates for daylight saving time fell to state governments. Because this created many railroad scheduling and safety problems, however, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act in 1966. This law set the nationwide dates of daylight saving time from the last Sunday in April until the last Sunday in October. In 2007, Congress amended the act to expand the period in which daylight saving time is in effect from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November – dates that remain in effect today.

The Uniform Time Act allows states and territories to opt out of daylight saving time, however. Arizona and Hawaii are on permanent standard time, along with Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and American Samoa.

Now, many other states are considering whether to stop falling back and springing ahead. Several U.S. states have legislation and resolutions under consideration to support permanent standard time, while many others have been or are considering permanent daylight saving time. Legislation and resolutions for permanent standard time have increased from 15% in 2021 to 31% in 2023.

In March 2022, the U.S. Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act  in a bid to make daylight saving time permanent. But the House did not move forward with this legislation. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio reintroduced the bill on March 1, 2023.

The spike in activity among states seeking to break from these twice-yearly changes reflects how more people are recognizing the downsides of this practice. Now, it’s up to legislators to decide whether we end the time shift altogether, and to choose permanent standard or daylight saving time.

After WWII, states were given the right to choose the start and end dates for daylight saving time, but this caused serious problems for rail schedules. To address this, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act in 1966 which standardized the changes, but still allowed states and territories to opt out entirely. Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and some U.S. territories decided to stay on permanent time. 

Many other states and legislators are considering abolishing daylight saving time, but no bill has passed. People are starting to recognize the problems caused by changing the time twice a year and want to move to a permanent standard time.
