While many will be thrilled Eby finally decided to #DitchTheSwitch permanent DST is the wrong choice for human health & the environment. Messed up circadian rhythms & turning lights on earlier in the winter burn out humans & the planet. Better choice: stay on PST permanently after March 8th.

Hey, Premier Eby, it's time to #DitchTheSwitch. Your party promised over 5 years ago. No more waiting for "American partners". The Americans are not our partners anymore. Time for us to be on #CanadianTime

On this day in 1974: Congress ended permanent Daylight Saving Time. It forced work and school to start predawn, which deprived sleep, increased accidents, and disrupted business. Permanent Standard Time instead can #DitchTheSwitch without morning darkness!

Dear @davidebybc.bsky.social
Spring is coming & the inevitable time change. POTUS has made it clear the US is no longer our partner or friend, how about you stop stalling on ditching the time change? DST or PST? Pick one & stick with it. Who cares what the US thinks? 🤷🏼‍♀️ #DitchTheSwitch

On the bright side, since America has declared a trade war, so we shouldn't feel obligated to co-ordinate with our "American partners" about ending seasonal time changes. 🙄 To hell with them. #DitchTheSwitch

Q&A: This WA lawmaker is proposing ending daylight saving time
By Jeong Park
Seattle Times assistant metro editor

It’s that time of year again.

Sunday, Nov. 3, marks the end of daylight saving time, meaning we’ll roll back our clocks an hour and welcome (or dread) the Big Dark with pre-5 p.m. sunsets.

In 2019, Washington state lawmakers passed a law to make daylight saving time permanent.

But the law can’t take effect until Congress takes action; federal law only allows states to opt into standard time permanently. Efforts to change the federal law have repeatedly stalled.

Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley, and 12 other senators this year introduced a bill to take Washington state in another direction: Staying on Pacific Standard Time year-round. That bill stalled in the Washington state Legislature, with Padden retiring from his position by the end of this year.

But Sen. Jeff Wilson, R-Longview, who is running for reelection, plans…

Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara Introduces New Legislation to End Daylight Saving Time in New York State

October 31, 2024

Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara has introduced new legislation to eliminate daylight saving time (DST) in New York State, a proposal that would end the twice-yearly clock changes that have increasingly been criticized for their impact on health and daily life. The bill proposes that New York stay on standard time year-round, eliminating disruptions and providing a stable time system for residents and businesses.

“Daylight saving time no longer serves its original purpose and has proven to disrupt daily life, affecting everything from sleep patterns to productivity,” said Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara. “By staying on standard time, New York can help residents avoid the confusion and health risks caused by DST transitions, especially as the days grow shorter in the winter.”

The Uniform Time Act of 1966 allows states to exempt themselves from DST, opting instead…

Sunday at 2 a.m.: Nation Turns Clocks Back As Standard Time Returns
WASHINGTON (UPI) – Most of the nation turns the clock back one hour on Sunday, returning to standard time and ending the emergency year-round daylight saving time spawned by the energy crisis.
Congress passed on Sept. 30 and President Ford signed on Oct. 5 partial repeal of the 1973 emergency act that took effect last January and was due to expire anyway on April 27, 1975.
Congress acted after many parents protested that it was dangerous for their children to go to school in the dark and after it appeared the year-round daylight time wasn't saving much energy as it was supposed to.
The Transportation Department said it resulted in only a 1 per cent saving of electricity between January and April of this year. […]

This bill originally sought to exempt the state from Daylight Saving Time (fast time) and to restore permanent Standard Time (natural time). It was filed with a companion bill in the California Assembly, AB-1776, authored by Assemblyman Tri Ta (R-70, Westminster). The bill was amended by the Senate Energy Committee to add a study of any short-term effects on energy usage that might related to permanent Standard Time. The bill was next amended by the Senate Appropriations Committee to remove the bill’s original purpose of ditching DST, making it only a study bill. During this floor reading, no debate was raised, and the bill was approved by a vote of 33–1–6. 0:00 The bill is called. 0:18 Senator Niello speaks for the bill. 2:16 No debate is raised. 2:24 Vote proceeds. 4:33 The vote is called, the bill is approved. More information about this legislation is on its official webpage: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB1413 🌞 History and science show permanent Standard Time (natural time) is best for health, mood, safety, education, economy, and liberty.

California Senate approves the amended SB-1413. Originally filed by Senator Niello to #DitchDST, #DitchTheSwitch, and restore permanent Standard Time, it was amended by committee only to study energy effects of such action. It next goes to #CALeg Assembly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZjj...

California (#CALeg) Senate’s Energy Committee and Appropriations Committee have rewritten SB-1413.

Originally filed to #DitchDST, #DitchTheSwitch, and restore permanent Standard Time, in 2024, at no cost—it would now only *study* Daylight Saving Time, in 2027, for $600,000.
