Argh. Today, we all lost an hour of sleep as most of the country transitioned to Daylight Savings Time.
Several attempts have been made in California to end the practice of changing clocks twice a year. In 2018, California voters passed Proposition 7, which allowed the state legislature to establish permanent Daylight Savings Time (DST) if federal law, Uniform Time Act, is amended to permit such action. However, any change to Daylight Saving Time in California requires approval from the federal government due to existing federal law.
Efforts to enact permanent DST at the federal level have faced challenges and have not yet been successful. There are various reasons for this, including concerns about the potential impact on interstate commerce, transportation schedules, and other logistical issues. Additionally, there is ongoing debate and disagreement about the benefits and drawbacks of DST, making it difficult to achieve consensus on a nationwide policy.
As we adjust to the “spring forward” time change, let's use the daylight we have to Create Hope in the World.
