When Does Daylight Saving Time Stop? Will Clocks Fall Back in 2026?
The House approved the Sunshine Protection Act by a bipartisan 308-117 vote, but the Senate has no vote scheduled before clocks fall back on Nov. 1.
- The Sunshine Protection Act, passed by the House of Representatives, remains stalled in the Senate without a scheduled vote as the chamber recesses until Sept. 14, 2026.
- President Donald Trump has advocated for the bill, introduced by Rep. Vern Buchanan, calling the current practice 'foolish, inconvenient and, in some cases, very costly.'
- Public opinion favors ending the twice-yearly ritual; a 2023 YouGov survey found 62% of Americans support eliminating clock changes, while a January 2025 Gallup poll showed 54% wanted to end the practice.
- Unless Congress acts before Nov. 1, 2026, Americans will turn their clocks back one hour at 2 a.m. local time, continuing the schedule established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-South Dakota, has questioned whether the bill holds sufficient support, while some religious groups note that permanent daylight saving time could complicate dawn-based morning prayer observances.
