Are Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota Ending Daylight Saving Time?

Are Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota among the states that may be getting rid of Daylight Saving Time? Are you sick of springing forward and falling back?

Daylight Savings Time started way back in 1918 to add more daylight to times when people were working as a way to boost wartime productivity.

Every year since 1918 most states move their clocks forward one hour on the second Sunday in March and turn the clocks back one hour on the first Sunday in November.

On Nov. 5, 2023, Daylight Saving Time ends and we have to set our clocks back...again. 

Many U.S. citizens are tired of it and feel now would be a good time to see the end of Daylight Saving Time.

As a matter of fact every year since 2018 a bill called The Sunshine Protection Act that would end Daylight Saving Time has been introduced to the U.S. Senate for passage. 

If the bill passes the House and Senate and the President signs it the bill would pass. 

The clock would stay at what is considered standard time by the federal government, beginning in November 2023.

So what's happening with The Sunshine Protection Act right now? Not much.

Apparently, the bill is stalled...again. 

According to The Hill, “The main impediments dimming the legislation’s chances of passing appear to be fundamental disagreements over its language and a general consensus that other matters take precedence as the House grapples with high inflation and other issues.”
