What happened to the move to eliminate daylight saving time?

- In 2019, Washington state legislators nearly unanimously voted to eliminate daylight saving time, but the move needed congressional approval.
The state’s still waiting for Congress to act as most of the nation prepares to turn their clocks back an hour on Nov. 5. Clocks will "fall back" one hour at 2 a.m. on Nov. 5, granting most people an extra hour of sleep.
With the change comes earlier sunrises and nightfall well before 7 p.m. It won't be until March that we fiddle with our clocks to "spring ahead" once again.

One of the most useless things done in this country.... among many others.
👍
Yeah, and it's based on a total lie like all stupid things that were enacted. "Ben Franklin did it to save money on lamp oil." That is absolutely the stupidest thing I've ever heard. So ole Ben spent half the year with his clock an hour different than everybody else's until the rest of the country saw how great it is? All you have to do is adjust your bed-time.
Lawmakers were too busy starting wars and adjusting their stock portfolios accordingly.
Save on energy and insurance
Need to support the diversity community
So they changed their stock portfolios to standard?
I'm not surprised Congress hasn't acted. they seem hell-bent on making sure we're not a 'happier healthier Nation"
Exactly that's exactly what this video Confirmed
That is the reason they don't make DST permanent. Depression goes up, when the day gets shorter and darker earlier. Two years ago, the Senate passed a bill called the sunshine act I believe, it was to keep us on DST, Nancy Pelosi refused to bring the bill to the floor of the House. And it died there.
Just why do we need them period? They are paid by us, and "supposed" to work for us! Not the other way around!
@@RockBrentwood so obviously we didn't know that they acted on anything and weren't able to ascertain for ourselves that it was a complete disaster. if that had been the case I wouldn't have made my comment.
what complete disaster were we subjected to due to daylight savings time? how could it possibly have been implemented when nobody that I know even know anything happened, nor did the times stay the same when it was supposed to change.
I think you're just making things up.
It was made daylight savings in 73 but only last until 74
I’ve hated having to change the clock back every year in the Fall and back forward again in The Spring since I was a little kid. I am in my mid fifties and still can’t stand it.
They started that crap when I was just a kid and I'm in my seventy's.
Same, and I've never understood the reasoning
👍👍👍
@@Petesworkshop2225 what I told it during WWII to save energy. For the war effort how long the war done?..
To be honest, I only hate the part where we have to change the clocks forward. Does anybody actually hate that free hour? In the end, it's all the same. Get rid of DST, give us Standard time forever.
The reason Congress doesn't do anything about it is because they know it is one topic that can be relied upon twice a year to keep people divided.
Just one of their designed ways. Division is their number 1 thing. Political parties are a big one. Racism another. But they are all equally corrupt as each other. How do they make billions on the salaries they get paid?? How many of you have a few mansions here, and there?
Divided? People are begging for it and pubes no nothing, as usual.
The states don't need Washington to do away with Daylight savings time, Arizona already did it in recent years, and other states like Indiana and Hawaii have long refused to follow daylight savings time.
Exactly. Get some sack and just do it.
The idiot reporters have this BACKWARDS!!! These states want PERMANENT DST!!!! NOT to ELIMINATE IT!!!
"Since 1968, Arizona has observed Mountain Standard Time year-round, with the exception of the Navajo Nation."
I believe it was only part of Indiana that didn't because they were in a different time zone, but now they change it twice a year. I have never like it because it messes me up so much for about a month or more.
They need to stop changing the time, very bad for our health!
Yes. My dog starts barking for his dinner and hour early, it drives me nuts!
That’s why they impose it on us.
They dont care about your health. Dont you remember the push for taking untested, experimental "medicine" a couple years ago??? Now people are harmed, dying, or dead from it.
My father would never set the clocks back in the car. He said "just deal with it!"
In AZ we don't observe daylight savings, its awesome.
Yeah but most of us like afternoon light
Hawaii doesn't change it either. I lived there for 5 years and I loved it....plenty of sunshine to spend at the beach or outside without changing the clocks.
Its like cutting off one end of your blanket and sewing on the other end, to make it longer.
I always thought it was good to not have to walk to the busstop in the mornings. That's what my Mom had told me it was for. :-D
NO! It like pulling the blanket down over your feet!!!!
@@johnp139 nothing will ever slip by you.
A broken clock is at least right twice a day. A broken congress is never right.
Bumper sticker!
When I used to work an hourly job, it used to kill me and seemed like I'd never get to go home.
To me it felt like time was dragging and made me depressed to get off when sun had already set.
I'm definitely not into earlier sunsets. No thanks.
Seems I'm always the one on night shift for standard time change 😢 I do get an extra hours pay but it makes for a long shift. Stop the insanity!
Such a global, big picture thinker.
If you are hourly, then you are entitled to pay for that extra hour.
This video title talks about the effort to grt rid of Daylight Savings Time. I've found that a lot of people don't even know which is Daylight Savings Time and which is Standard Time. They keep saying get rid of Daylight Savings Time, but most people actually want to get rid of Standard Time. Daylight Savings Time is the time from around March until around November. Standard Time starts around November until March. A lot of people I talk to just know they want the summer time, Time but don't know which one it is.
Doesn't surprise me. I personally love shorter days. I sleep better.
@@jodylancaster8706 I agree with you. I sleep better, and it's easier to get up in the morning when it's lighter sooner than on Daylight Savings Time.
I agree. Simply put: If you want to mow your lawn in dark, get rid of daylight savings time. How getting rid of it makes a person healthier leaves me scratching my head. Maybe what they don't like is the natural change in hours of light that occurs from equinox to equinox, the longest day being around June 21st and the shortest day is around December 22. Please PPL! know what you are ranting about!
*Most* people
I know! Why don't we just (and stick with me here)....stop doing it.....
I wish we would stop doing day light savings time. This was done a long time ago and it was for the farmers so they could work longer and get darker later. Why are we still doing this?
Yeah, that's not how that works or why we did it. The sun doesn't come up or go down any sooner or later because we change the clocks. Farmers get up at sunrise and stop working at sunset. The only time that matters to farmers is daytime.
I agree, STOP IT! We don't need it!..
It’s just one more way for our government to f* with us.
That’s it.
No other reason.
Thats probably on of many lies we've been told about history
Permanent switch to daylight savings so we have sun after work
SPRING FORWARD, FOREVER
I want to STAY on daylight savings time permanently! I really like those long summer evenings and NOT having sunsets at 4:25 PM in winter months.
Well without clock change
Sunset would be 5:25pm
DST is garbage.
I'd rather they eliminated standard time. These next 4 months are depressing with it getting dark earlier
If you do that, then in December it will be dark until 9AM in the morning
@@michaelseay9783I’d be okay with that in order to have an extra hour of daylight when I get home from work.
So, that’s what we voted to do on Washington. King 5 was real squishy on the facts in this report.
@@bd12544Squishy? THEY GOT IT TOTALLY WRONG!!!
@@michaelseay9783
That’s what would happen if we never change the clock
Changing clocks to standard time means sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour earlier than the day before
Daylight savings time was created before headlights on tractors and lawn mowers.....
I grew up in farm country. No one gives a crap about the clock, cattle and crops can't tell time
It was to conserve energy during the world wars when there were mostly factory workers.
@@psyndorai8124- I had a friend in grade school who lived on a Dairy Farm, her Mom said, the cows have to be milked at the same time everyday, not matter if we change the clocks or not. My cats wake me up at 6 or 7 am every day to eat (DST or not!). lol
They’re absolutely right this daylight savings time is horrible because it does affect a lot of families and peoples mindset because it makes people depressed and I’m one of them and when it is getting dark at 4:30 in the afternoon your mood changes real fast! Wake up Congress, we need this!
Totally!
So we want to stay in daylight savings time all year round, not get rid of it.
Its all by design. They want our frequencies low. People to need to dig deep into whats really going on with plans of our "elites" and globalists. Id bet most dont know why all our documents, like a birth certificate, are all in capital letters.You''ll be stunned. Or the Act of 1871. All they care about is the latest freakin cell phone! As you are pacified , and only care about stupid crap like that( by design), no one looks around and see whats really going on in our world.. Wake up. We arent "free" like you think we are.
Daylight savings time means it stays lighter later in the day. Standard time, brings evening darkness an hour earlier.@@sherril.562
I think even kids would rather have the extra daylight when they get out of school rather than during homeroom.@@jeanfoster4386
The story used misleading and incorrect language.
We can stay on standard time, like Arizona and others. The state didn’t pass a bill to eliminate DST, but to stay on it and that is what requires an act of congress. The governor and everyone else seems to have forgotten this.
I wish they would change it that they would leave it too the spring forward time
Permanent daylight savings.
SPRING FORWARD, FOREVER
why does Arizona not change their clocks? obviously congress has no control. do states' rights not apply here?
It's one thing that Arizona does that I agree with
States can opt to stay on standard. Arizona and Hawaii are on standard. It has to be voted to stay on daylight savings.
The rights of States is the very reason AZ has the authority to elect whether or not to adopt DST.
Any state has the right to eliminate dst and stay on standard. In order for states to choose savings year round a new law would have to be passed to allow that option. Permanent dst was signed in 73 but only lasted until 74 because so few wanted to remain on it so it was back to what we have now.
@@alicedobbs159
What is the point of changing clocks in Arizona
Phoenix Arizona
Latest sunset at 7:42pm
If the clocks were changed
Latest sunset would be 8:42pm
Hawaii don’t change the clocks because it’s next to the equator
Honolulu Hawaii
Sunset on 21 June at 7:16pm
With clock change it would be 8:16pm
Sunrise at 5:50am
With clocks change it will be 6:50am
Mexico doesn’t change the clocks since October 2022 and remains on Standard Time all year
THEY DON'T CARE !!
THEY DON'T CARE !!
THEY DON'T CARE !!

it doesn't affect me in any way here in Arizona we don't touch the clocks , you'll do just fine if they decide to end it, been here for the past 20 years I used to live in North Jersey where we used to change our clocks made no sense to keep changing clocks I like it the way it is in Arizona
Why does the rest of the country need congress approval but Arizona dont??
Because Arizona stay on standard not daylight savings. Any state can opt to remain on standard. Hawaii is as well.
@@alicedobbs159 I see......
Learn how to write.
@@Pete391Because this report IS WRONG!!!!! They have it BACKWARDS!!! What MORONS!!! No wonder people are SO IGNORANT, it’s because of reporters LIKE THIS!!!
Ineffective Congress lawmakers in D.C. however they sure don’t drag their feet on sending billions$$$$ to fight foreign wars.
I hear that most have dual citizenship with Israel. or, Its $$$ laundering.
I hate time change its a pain
The earth kinda wobbles when circling the sun and the sunrise time changes. You notice it when you work outside during season changes. I thought that was the reason for DLST. Once I read the real reason behind both times it was implemented, I realized it all boils down to corporate greed, and it's pointless.
FLAT EARTH SILLY SEE SANTOS BONACCI - MR ASTROTEHOLOGY
@@warningsigns4526?
It’s based on an assumption that it would benefit energy but really it has no change except on the public.
The earth DOESN’T WOBBLE!!! It’s axis of rotation is tilted!!!!
Every year. Then it never changes. Im staying on Daylight Savings Time.
Good idea! I like it.
I'm with you!
They dont change it in Arizona
Arizona and Hawaii stay on standard year round.
We could “eliminate daylight savings time “. We would not need congress approval. What we cannot do is “make daylight savings time permanent “, that needs congressional approval. We could just join Arizona and the rest and stay on standard time all year. I don’t understand why we couldn’t have just voted for that - or all these other states. There is more to the story, but we aren’t even getting clear basic information in this reporting.
Right, awful and incorrect reporting!!!
Because making Standard permanent would actually be an improvement, and government is obsessed with making everything worse, hence the pursuit of permanent DST.
Keep standard time, not DST!
If they did that, in the summer the sun would come up around 5 am
@@HeyYaHo-co3dn not here
Yes! Daylight saving time! We need to petition ant vote! Stop messing with the time!
SPRING FORWARD, FOREVER
@@HeyYaHo-co3dn ,,, and the sun would be at its highest point in the sky at noon. Which would be correct.
It feels like we only care about this when the time has to change and nothing the rest of the year. People with difficult mornings and sleeping issues do not appreciate this.
In general we just hate Daylight Savings Time.
it's embarrassing that this wasn't done away with by the 1960s
It is embarrassing that KING can't report the story correctly.
Washington didn't pass a bill to "do away with daylight savings time." It passed a bill to make daylight savings time permanent, year round. Please get your story straight.
Exactly and the kicker is if we had been given the opportunity to vote on a bill making standard time permanent we would not need congressional approval.
Right, horrific reporting!!! This is yet another reason most Americans are misinformed!
Just goes to show you how the simplest thing in our government can't be handled.
Daylight saving time should be kept the whole year.
Nooooooo! It's so bad for kids to go to school in the dark. Bad for me too!
Why does no one understand that pretending that it's 1pm when the sun is at 12 noon ( that's Daylight Savings Time, which we now do 8 months a year) is crazy?
The time is what it is, and the idea of pretending otherwise instead of just scheduling things the way we want makes me despair for humanity.
@@NicholasA231 Boomers have an urge to permanently ruin as many things as possible before they become completely irrelevant.
IF they eliminate the time changes, keep it Standard time, not Daylight Saving Time. Makes more sense, AND a lot safer.
I refuse to turn back my clocks!
Some don't want to eliminate it...too dang dark...let's see daylight after work, please...its the only time we have the luxury
I wish i could like this comment 10x over!
You are contradicting yourself!!!! Eliminating DST will result in EARLIER SUNSETS!!! People are IDIOTS!!!
No, that's false. You can see it during weekends, and holidays. Darkness in the morning is objectively terrible for everybody as it violates the circadian rhythm. Time for DST to go.
Why would anyone want to get rid of daylight savings time.
The most depressing time of the year is the months that it gets dark at 5:15 pm.
As far as the children, they are not stupid.
This ain't about the children.
Hell ask them if they had rather have an extra hour of playtime outside after they finish their homework.
I don't care what you do on the west coast.
But quit bitching about the entire country succumbing to your beliefs.
That is a lot of what's wrong with this country now.
FJB
Permanent daylight savings time is the way to go!
SPRING FORWARD, FOREVER
God bless DST! I love the extra spring sunshine!
Satan bless DST! Not God! IT wouldn't make any differences!
My son did the extra hour last year at work and the boss said he doesn’t get paid for it and no one has in all his 20 years on the job😡🤔
If he’s hourly, then it is DOL regulations that they get paid. This place needs to be reported!!!
well, that's illegal
So you hate Standard time for that? Here's an idea. Get rid of DST, then this won't happen.
We hope KING 5 doesn't cause riots in Seattle over this.
Riots of confusion because the law didn’t eliminate DST.
When you go by crime you don't need a time.
I loved when we had DST year round in 1974. Since morning was a waste spent in school, it was wonderful to go to school in the dark and get home to a reasonable amount of daylight.
Most people hated it. That's why it didn't last.
No, it sounds horrible. Most people spend all their late afternoons and evenings indoors anyway, but when forced to wake up early and forced to leave the house, I'm pretty sure the last thing someone who hates mornings would want is absolutely no sunlight at all. Standard time forever, DST is trash.
These people don't care.
States don't need Congressional approval to just keep Standard time. We the people need to put pressure on our Congresspeople to make it so. Just end the nonsense once and for all.
END DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME!
GO TO NATIONAL STANDARD TIME
Either make the change or not, and stop "considering" it.
There is a sun dial in Olympia Washington? How can you tell time when it’s cloudy most days?
As useless as congress
Are there more places in the PNW than Olympia, Washington?
So we need to elect competent people that do what they are elected to do. The only reason to keep the time changes is to disrespect us as citizens. Do not vote for anybody that does not work at the job we gave them.
This is NOT funny. My 98 year mother called me three times since Sunday asking me what time it “ really” is. She’s so confused and upset. Let’s stop this stupidity and just leave it on daylight saving time and be done with it!
Is it still respectful to say our congress is worthless, I mean, I am telling the truth!? How complicated can this be? Then again, we are talking about congress working!
Was thinking the same: what happened to leaving time alone???
im so tired of this we needs to stop moving time back it sucks. all they have to do is say its over.smh
Learn how to write!
So many people wrongly call it daylight “savings” time we really should change it to that
Fall back and stay back….that’s the best plan….DST is horrible.
We don't want to get rid of it, we want to make daylight savings time permanent. We want more daylight at the end of the day.
No. Only Boomers want that. DST is crap.
They've got a Democrat in charge of it, it'll never happen.
demon crats
Both parties haven't done a thing to end it in decades.
The sunshine protection act actually eliminates standard time, not daylight savings time. So we would be changing time permanently. Standard time is the norm.
They should be honest about it, seems like they claim getting rid of DST because they know getting rid of Standard Time isn't desirable.
Fall back to STANDARD TIME and leave it there.
You're literally saying the exact opposite of what is going on. You said "...do away with daylight savings time" at the same time showing a graphic explaining that a number of states want *permanent* daylight savings time.
It's insane to want to permanently pretend that it's an hour later than it really is. We *should* eliminate daylight savings, we *shouldn't* make it permanent, which is what they were planning to do.
Exactly!!! These people should BE FIRED for reporting LIES!!!
Exactly. It must be because "do away with Standard time" doesn't sound nearly as good. Wonder why that is.
My state straddles the longitude for true solar time, yet our insane politicians want to enact permanent Daylight Savings Time. Ughf!!! How would I ever break that to my trusty sextant???
Smoke, mirrors and distractions.
FIX YOUR HEADLINE. People want to stay on Daylight Savings (what we are on most of the year) permanently. WORDS MATTER.
PASS THE SUNSHINE PROTECTION ACT
MARCH 2024 - SPRING FORWARD, FOREVER
Sounds like hell. Standard Time IS Standard Time for a reason.
I thought california voted to end daylight savings time ???
They DIDN’T!!!! They voted to KEEP IT YEAR ROUND!!!! IGNORANT FOOL!
Come on Congress do something
Leave it Standard Time year round.
Follow the examples of Arizona and Hawaii! Let this be the last time we change the clocks! Forget about daylight savings time! Animals don't observe it, why should we?
Animals don’t go to work or school.
We HATE it!!
Time to end it. It's outdated, dangerous for driving, peoples mental health & not needed for any practical reason.
Stop daylight savings time.
But why haven't they is the bigger question???
People are ignorant and don’t know the difference between DST and Standard Time!!! Arizona and Hawaii don’t use DST!
This time change sucks! All it does is disrupts your sleep cycle , poor babies schedules are messed up. Who cares if it's dark in the morning?
You want more daylight then GET UP EARLIER
Come on. Eliminate it already. This is rediculus
When I retire I am not worried about the clock or what my wife or no one wants . I am done living on a clock
Daylight "saving" time was created for farmers to get a jump on Daylight time for their farming activities/business. It never had anything to do with ordinary people and their way of life. This time change should never have been implemented to the general public. PERIOD.
No. Farmers don't give a %^&* what the clock says. Neither do the farmers' animals. The sun rises when it rises and sets when it sets. Noon is when the sun is highest in the sky - or SHOULD be - which would be STANDARD time.
Exactly.
There are two replies already to this, and I can only see one. Anyway, a quick Google of that concept will help you understand that farmers don't give a rat's ass what the clock says. The animals don't care, the fields don't care. Farmers had absolutely nothing to do with DST.
Please get rid of day light savings time. It means absolutely nothing!!!
He should rename his clock repair shop as "The Cog Is Dead Clock Repair".
I believe this report is incorrect. Isn't the Washington state proposal to eliminate standard time not daylight saving time? I would prefer staying on standard time. (Which is what the report was saying the Washington state proposal is.) There are studies that show standard time is healthier that daylight saving time.
And states do not require congressional approval to stay on standard time.
This story is a fluff piece, not meant to be informative I guess.
The story is OUTRIGHT WRONG!!!!
The title is wrong. We are trying to KEEP Daylight Savings Time, and eliminate the "fall back" to Standard Time every November. Look at your graphic at 1:20. The top caption reads:: "STATES SUPPORTING YEAR-ROUND DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME" . The voice over says "19 states including Washington passed bills to do away with daylight saving...." The statements are polar opposites! The Sunshine Protection Act seeks to keep us ON Daylight Saving time, not to eliminate it. The idea is to eliminate the "fall-back" an hour for the winter (which in effect eliminates Standard Time). C'mon KING 5 News, you can do better.
IT NEEDS TO END!!!!
When you live in the PNW, it’s very problematic to be dark so early. It impacts power consumption as well due to darkness
Please stop changing the time ‼️Why is the stupid government still making us change the time twice a year⁉️This assinine act does no good for anyone or anything ‼️Stop causing my stress to up and cause my blood pressure to be high ‼️
Google it.
I will turn clocks back to eastern standard time but I will never turn back to D S T ! I waste over 2 hrs. A year for this nonsense!
Time change absolutely needs to be done away with period! Stop dragging your feet and just do it! It will help everyone! It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that, right? Yikes, this country is so messed up!
KEEP DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME!
Congress should only get paid if they pass this bill since almost every working-class person is on board. Maybe they would get off their priviledged asses...
I would love to get rid of daylight savings time....I think it's a needless pain in the ass.
There is No plan to eliminate daylight savings time. The bill,,,sunshine protection act would eliminate standard time and keep daylight savings time.
Exactly!!! Stupid FALSE REPORTING!!!
I hope this plague permanently leaves. It doesn't make us any more productive. It wasn't a good idea in the first place.
Daylight saving time needs to end for real, and not made permanent.
Having the daylengths wax and wane gradually is healthier than forcing yourself to go to bed and wake up earlier than what you're used to. Killing DST by keeping standard time for the entire year wipes out the November time change a lot of people seem to dread.
We are moving to standard time in the fall. Daylight savings is in the spring. If they left daylight savings we in WI would be dark till mid morning. I hate daylight savings time.
We need to go back a half hour and leave it alone
omg that is the funniest thing i've ever heard. but hey it just might make everyone happy :) just split the difference lol lol
Can we get rid off these out of touch, gereatric, moronic, corrupt fks out of our political systems so this country can actually progress and actually get better?
I've been curious of what ever happened to that. I thought it had passed. But then we were still changing our clocks. But personally, Daylight Savings has existed all my life, so I really don't care it if continues. It doesn't bother me.
Happened with what? This whole story is flawed with wrong information!
@@johnp139 Flawed information? What are you talking about? A few years ago it was on the news that the government wanted to stop all the changing of the clocks twice a year. That's what I've been curious about, since it didn't happen. What's "flawed" about that?
You do not gain or lose anything an hour is an hour no matter what you do with it.
But the clock still dictates WHEN you do many things.
Lol,,people are confused when it comes to talking about daylight savings time,,,because of the negative affect it has on the mind and body, changing back and forth. Standard time can not be changed. At noon the sun is high in the sky. Stay in rythm with the planet and people are more healthy. Want longer days move north,,,want shorter days move south.
Only time you need to know is it's 1 second to midnight
Please change this bill of change the time
It's detrimental to our health.
