Clocks 'spring forward' this Sunday, March 12.
The days will start getting lighter when folks set their clocks forward this Sunday, March 12. Unfortunately, this does mean we’ll all be losing an hour of sleep, but not a bad price to pay for more sunshine.PennLive previously reported in April 2021
how the state House of Representatives passed a bill in a 103-98 vote that would do away with the practice all together and, therefore, making daylight saving time permanent. But what would be the point of doing so? Well, the same PennLive article explains that various studies show how a permanent daylight saving time has a series of benefits such as saving energy, reducing traffic crashes, reducing crime, and generally leading to healthier lifestyles.
“In the future, I think this is a very positive reform for Pennsylvania, changing time twice a year is incredibly inefficient and an outside practice,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Lehigh County, to PennLive. “I think there is a movement afoot to go toward some type of permanent time and I want to be a part of that.”, there have been a total of 18 states in recent years that have enacted similar legislation such as Alabama and Montana.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
