“Fall Back”: Daylight Savings Time Ends Sunday at 2 a.m.

Daylight Savings Time ends this Sunday, November 3rd at 2:00 a.m. In 2022 the U.S. Senate approved a bill known as the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent nationwide. But the legislation stalled in the House, as there was debate about whether to make standard or daylight time permanent. The bipartisan bill continues to be promoted, but it still hasn’t been passed.

The Rock County Sheriff’s Office offers the following safety reminders to help you prepare for an emergency.

 Check household safety items
o Smoke detectors
o Carbon monoxide detectors
o Furnaces
o Wood burning stoves
o Fire extinguishers
