TEXAS, USA — Daylight Saving Time as we know it may be over after Nov 6.
Meaning people living in participating states in the United States will no longer need to adjust their clocks an hour back or forward ever six months.
One Temple man says at this point, he's been conditioned to adjust to the change.
"There's not like I have a choice to accept it or not it's just is what it is," Robert Spear shared.
But for others like Taylor Cope, a change would benefit her as she works at night.
"I think it is kind of a hassle, especially for those who work like overnights do you know moving your clock forward or back to the hours. Some nights it can make a good night and be good to go and you don't have to work an extra hour but then you missed your paychecks and that could affect some people," Cope explained.
In March, Florida Senator Marco Rubio introduced the Sunshine Protection Act.
According to Marco Rubio's website, the bill would eliminate the changing of clocks to standard time for those four months. In sum, if enacted, we would not “fall back” in November and would enjoy a full year of DST, instead of only eight months. This bill does not: Alter or change time zones.
The bill was unanimously approved by the Senate but has yet to be approved by the House nor signed by President Joe Biden.
Texas Congressman Pete Sessions (R) 17 says Texas representatives are fully backing making daylight saving last indefinitely as they believe it would contribute to the betterment of Texans.
"It actually helps people who live in Texas it helps people that go to work and help students it helps people that have visual or acuity problems including retina disease people," Sessions shared.
States and U.S. territories including Hawaii and Arizona do not currently participate in daylight saving time.
For now, the other 48 states are required to set their clocks back to 2 a.m. Nov. 6.
