Might we soon see the end of Daylight Saving Time?

Daylight Saving Time will begin this weekend, and if some senators had their way, it would never end. A bipartisan group of U.S. senators is reintroducing legislation, called the Sunshine Protection Act, that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, one of the measure's co-sponsors, cited several benefits of making the change, including helping reduce the risk of seasonal depression and reducing the number of car accidents. Democratic Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts, who also backs making Daylight Saving Time permanent, said studies have shown it would, quote, "improve public health, public safety, and mental health -- especially important during this cold and dark COVID winter." Daylight Saving Times is currently in effect for eight months of the year, starting on the second Sunday in March and ending on the first Sunday in November. Hawaii and Arizona are the only states that don't observe it.
