Love it or hate it, it's coming: The end of Daylight saving time.
Yes, you'll need to get ready to "fall back." At 2 a.m. Pacific time on Sunday, Nov. 6, California residents will have to set their clocks back by one hour. That's happening again, even though in 2018, California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 7, a ballot initiative that opened the door to permanently adopting daylight saving time.
Prop. 7 gave state lawmakers the power to pass legislation making daylight saving time permanent. Less than a month later, Assemblyman Kansen Chu introduced AB 7, the Daylight Saving Time law Prop. 7 enabled, but the Legislature never passed it.
Even if they had, the federal government would still need to OK the change.
This year, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a bill called the Sunshine Protection Act, which was introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida. The bill would permanently extend daylight saving time from eight months of the year to the full 12 months. But the measure has not yet been passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, nor has it been signed into law by President Joe Biden.

What assh0les.
“federal government would still need to OK the change”
No they wouldnt.
I wish it would stay at one time. We aren’t a nation of farmers without equipment anymore.
What other countries observe DST? (asking legitimately)
“On Sunday, Nov. 6, California residents will have to set their clocks back by one hour.”
That’s a lie!
There is no California law that requires people to set their clocks back on November 6th.
“the Sunshine Protection Act, which was introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida”
Floriduh has a totally different daylight pattern over the year compared to Washington State.
We should get an extra hour of daylight in the warmer months. In the dead of winter, nobody cares that it's dark at 5 o'clock. It's too cold to do anything outside anyhow.
Daylight savings makes no sense for winter time. In fact, it will make the mornings much darker as sunrise would not happen until much later and everybody will be going to school or work in the dark.
Joe Biden is not the President. He is a thief and imposter.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Don't Arizona and Indiana already say otherwise?
Seriously, I wish they would just leave it alone . . . one way or the other, I don't really care.
Or create half hour time zones. It makes no sense that Travis City, Michigan and Portland, Maine are in the same time zone even if there is well more than an hour difference between sunrise and sunset at each location.
California should be passing a law that demands 16 hours of sunshine per day for the full 12 months a year. They need it in order to power the solar panels that will be needed to power all of those EVs that become mandatory for all vehicle owners in 2035. ;)
My daughter lives in Maine. Further east than most of the country. It gets dark as early at 4:00 in December. Very depressing. You’re ready for bed by 7:00
The “Sunshine Protection Act”? Is there a limit on the arrogance of these idiots we are idiot enough to elect to represent us? What’s next, the “We Are All Gods” act? SMH.
Good Lord. Is that what little Marco spends his time on?
I am confused. Are we setting clocks back this year or not? I’m in Alabama. Last I heard the Senate had passed the resolution, but not the house, and it would not start until 2023.
Then is there a federal law, which requires the time to change?
It doesn’t make sense anytime. Why should we get an extra hour in the summer ? To disrupt our sleep cycles ? Or no cost savings on energy usage ?
“In the dead of winter, nobody cares that it’s dark at 5 o’clock. It’s too cold to do anything outside anyhow.”
Um, Wisconsin Dairy/Cattle Farmers do! The cows can’t wait. ;)
I wish they’d just leave it alone and let people get back to the regular rhythms of Nature adjusting things by the season. (And, it’s already dark by 6pm up here!)
Government can regulate daylight? Well, how come they haven’t solved climate change, yet? I mean, it just takes the stroke of a pen, obviously!
