The changing of the clocks forward and backward twice a year is not liked by a good number of Americans.But it looks like that this tradition of changing time will remain the same. When we talk about the big changes in 2023 daylight saving time, there is no special change by the laws so due to this we will still change our clocks back to Sunday , 5th November as we commonly do.
Right now, the rules of the Government tells the states to not keep the daylight saving time all over the year.Even though there have been talks about changing the laws but nothing decided in 2023.Some of the states want to change the clocks but they are not making much progress yet.
What is Daylight Saving Time?
Daylight saving time is the process of to adjust the clock hour forward in the warmer months and again set to the back into the cooler months.The adjustment is made in order to get the better use of the daylight more and to reduce the need of the artificial lights during the evening.The main reason is to maximise the daylight during the working time, so that they can do the more work and save their energy also.Not all the countries around the world does the daylight saving time and it is done into the some parts of the world differently
What Is the Sunshine Protection Act?
A person whose name was theSenator Marco Rubio from Florida introduced us to the Sunshine Protection Act. He is the person who has been bringing the sunshine protection act law every year from 2018.In March 2023 a person from Florida named Vern Buchanan a representative introduced it also in the house of the representatives. This law will make daylight saving time permanent all over the country. If this law passes we will not be able to change our clocks into the spring.
Many states and the places in the world keep the same time all over the year like Arizona and Hawaii and many more. They do not eligible to follow the new laws. They can continue as they are and moreover if a state before the approval of this law keeps the same time all over the year and they also do not have to follow.
What Is the Status of the Sunshine Protection Act?
It does not seem like that the sunshine protection act will become a law in 2023 because the bill regarding the sunshine protection act does to have the much support to get passed through the committees and or not have the votes that are needed.
In March 2022, the Sunshine Protection Act got through the Senate in an unusual way which is called unanimous consent. Means that no longer even a single man or woman disagrees with it at the time when it was introduced. So it was passed without a single vote. On the other hand a similar bill in the house didn’t make it out of the committee so the sunshine protection act lost its momentum and did not become a law.
