Show Notes
Spring forward, fall back: the debate over daylight saving time heats up across the U.S. Nineteen states want permanent daylight saving time, but federal law blocks it. The practice started during WWI, standardized in 1966, and tweaked in 1987 and 2005. Arizona and Hawaii opt out, while the Navajo Nation in Arizona observes it. Lawmakers remain split, with the Senate passing the Sunshine Protection Act in 2022, but its stalled in the House. President Trump has flip-flopped on his stance. Meanwhile, a new bill proposes a half-hour shift, and British Columbia plans to adopt permanent daylight saving time by 2026.
