Permanent daylight saving time: 19 states ready to end time change if Congress gives them the OK

Nineteen states are pushing for permanent daylight saving time, potentially ending the annual ritual of adjusting clocks twice a year. This move is driven by residents who find the time change disruptive and confusing. If Congress approves, it could simplify schedules and reduce the associated confusion, though it raises questions about energy usage and seasonal adjustments. This shift could also influence national policy on time standards, affecting everything from work routines to energy consumption patterns.
