This past week, Senator Rick Scott has been pushing hard to pass the Sunshine Protection Act for 2026. This bill aims to stop the “clock switching” that happens twice a year, making Daylight Saving Time permanent. Senator Scott and his supporters argue that ending the time change would help the economy and make people feel more energized with more sunlight in the evenings. However, the bill remains stuck in a Senate committee because some experts worry that dark winter mornings could be dangerous for students waiting for a bus. Since the law hasn’t passed yet, Americans should still plan to “spring forward” and move their clocks ahead on March 8, 2026.
