Daylight Savings Time ends this Sunday, November 5th 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. This year the Sunshine Protection Act was reintroduced, but so far it hasn’t even made as much progress as last year’s.
