Plans to make daylight saving time permanent across the U.S. are facing uncertainty after the Senate adjourned ahead of the midterm elections. Although the House passed the Sunshine Protection Act earlier this year, the Senate has not approved the legislation and is not expected to return until after this year’s scheduled time change. That means Americans will likely still set their clocks back on November 1, returning to standard time.
The proposal could still be considered later this year, but for now, the twice-a-year clock change remains in place.
