FALL BACK: Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend

This weekend, clocks will “fall back” one hour as Daylight Saving Time comes to an end.

The time change will take place at 2:00 a.m. Sunday.

Each year, the observance period for Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November.

Only Congress can change the length of the Daylight Saving Time observance period; however, since 2015, at least 39 states have proposed legislation to change it.

Several bills have been introduced in Congress that would make changes to standard time to effectively implement year-round Daylight Saving Time.

On March 12, 2018, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce sent a letter to the Department of Transportation requesting updated information related to Daylight Saving Time and standard time.

On June 20, 2018, DOT informed the committee that it had initiated a literature review of the issue and would share the results with the committee, but more than one year later it has still not been submitted.
