U.S. Congress Fails to Pass Permanent Daylight Saving Time Legislation

Despite public support and multiple legislative attempts, the U.S. will continue to observe daylight saving time in 2024.

  • The U.S. government has not made daylight saving time permanent, with recent efforts in Congress stalling.
  • Daylight saving time begins on March 10, 2024, and ends on November 3, 2024, in the U.S.
  • In the UK, clocks will spring forward on March 31, 2024, to mark the beginning of British Summer Time.
  • Nineteen states have passed legislation or resolutions in support of year-round daylight saving time, pending Congress's approval.
  • Daylight saving time was first introduced during World War I to conserve fuel and has been adjusted several times since.
