Now that Americans have set their clocks to "spring forward" one hour, some lawmakers are hoping that the country will never have to switch back to standard time ever again.
Legislators unanimously voted to approve the Sunshine Protection Act on March 15, 2022, which would establish daylight saving time as the default all year round for the states that observe it — meaning darker mornings and brighter evenings in winter.
The bill now heads to the House.
The legislation would not affect states that observes standard time but instead gives states the power to make the change.
If the measure isn't signed into law in time, daylight saving time will end on Sunday, November 7th.
