D-Oregon, was among the co-sponsors.</i></p>
<p><i>"Glad the Senate has passed the Sunshine Protection
Act so Oregonians aren’t springing back & forth each year
in a silly exercise that hurts everybody’s health & our
economy," Wyden tweeted March 15. "Time now for the House to
act."</i></p>
<p><i>In June 2022, the U.S. House failed to pass the
bill, which is now stalled and scheduled to expire in
December.</i></p>
<p><i>Let the debate resume in March 2023.</i></p>

<p>as we all know I'm no fan of semi-annual clock changes...
and I thought the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/623" target="_blank">Sunshine Act </a>would
put an end to that nonsense even if did fall on the "wrong
side" with a year-round DST timesqew. Looks like it is
going to fail despite bipartisan support in the Senate
(unsurprising that Florida, closest to the equator,
effected least, would be the one to sponsor/promote
it?)... <br>
</p>
<p>Oregon (in coordination with CA/WA) have tried to take
things into their own hands independent of the rest of the
country?<br>

<p>I suppose I could live with the sqew and just change the
idioms from 12 noon and 12 midnight to 11 noon and 11
midnight and call it a day/year/life. Seems like it
would just make more sense to sqew the 8-5 (or 9-4) for
bankers) an hour earlier instead, but what is the point of
having a state/federal/global government if it isn't going
to decide for you how we index time?</p>
