I'm so confused. Illinois lawmakers passed the bill to do away with Daylight savings in Illinois.I'm so confused. Illinois lawmakers passed the bill to do away with Daylight savings in Illinois. Yet when I talk to other people, they say we will be springing forward March 8th. Is this then the LAST time? When you google it, it shows the law passed. Anyone know? ♀️

Illinois passed this bill but Congress still has to approve. I believe there are many other states waiting as well for their Bill to pass. I don't know if it's gonna actually pass Congress this year

It hasn't actually passed yet. It would have to be passed by both houses, and signed by the governor in order for it to be a law, and go into effect. Once, those things have been done, then we would no longer spring forward and fall back.

It also has to be approved in Washington once it passes the house and the governor signs it. The Uniform Time Act was passed, in Washington, in 1966 and this would violate that. Therefore- it is ultimately up to Washington to give their ok.

Honestly the only reason why it stood out to me so much is because once my freshman walked past the corner to the bus stop I couldn’t see him. Cars don’t like to stop at the stop sign there either so I was praying for the time change so everything was more visible for everyone.

Don’t hold your breath, people. This must be approved at the federal level, and many other states have been waiting for years. Doubt it’ll ever happen.

@
guarneri
only Arizona. From google- Arizona observed DST in 1967 under the Uniform Time Act because the state legislature did not enact an exemption statute that year. In March 1968 the DST exemption statute was enacted and the state of Arizona has not observed DST since 1967. This is in large part intended to conserve energy. Arizona (except the Navajo Nation) is the only state in the contiguous U. S. that does not observe daylight saving time. Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas are among the states trying to observe year-round standard time.

@

oh I agree, we already have a problem in our Indiana office because part of the state does daylight savings and other other part doesnt. But our region covers as far west as texas and as far east as Georgia so some are on eastern time zone but still we know they are always an hour ahead no matter what, it will be weird for our Illinois inspectors who have to travel to Wisconsin or Iowa afterwards when they will be on a diff time, I'm sure it will be fine once they get used to it but I foresee a lot of inspectors being late lol. Personally I dont care either way, I leave early enough that it's dark regardless, I actually dont mind the dark at night only because in the summer it's such a pain getting my kids to go to bed cause its light out, they dont think its bedtime, and sadly they still have to go to bed during summer cause I work so they are at daycare by 6am just like school, it's better now that they r older but they used to argue with me and said it cant be bedtime it's still light out! Lol

It won’t be enacted because no one can decide whether to stay on DST or Standard Time. Some states are asking for permanent DST, others are asking for permanent Standard Time. We are on Standard Time now

How does this give us more daylight ? Do they control the world to just keep it positioned ? Isn’t this why we have daylight savings time is because of the way the world tilts . Honestly I always thought so anyway . Could be wrong

If it's not broke than why are we fixing it. We have been doing this for so long and it does help with the darkness in the morning and give us an hour more light for our families outside in the spring and summer. Having the different time zones are helpful unless we just have the same time everywhere. Until then good luck @
rozina
and others who deal with multiple states in their businesses. That would be nuts. In the meantime ladies, let's try to make the world a better place and support each other instead of judging, breaking down, and being condescending to each other. The world is crazy enough. Be kind, be supportive, agree to disagree, and teach our children to do the same. We can control our actions. Sending kind thoughts. Happy Tuesday!
