Lawmakers tried to lock the clocks this year — what happened?
SUMMARY: A majority of Americans want to end the bi-annual practice of changing the clocks, according to recent polls. However, efforts to do so have largely stalled. While some states have passed or attempted to pass legislation regarding daylight saving time, current federal law does not allow for permanent daylight saving time unless Congress approves it. Multiple bills have been introduced this year that aim to keep daylight saving time year-round, but they have not made progress in committees. There is also a divide among Americans on whether to stay on permanent standard time or daylight saving time.
