TULSA, Okla. - The U.S.
House has passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent, eliminating the twice-yearly clock changes.
The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
What Permanent Daylight Saving Time Would Mean
If the bill becomes law, clocks would no longer “spring forward” or “fall back.”
Instead, daylight saving time would remain in effect year-round, bringing later sunsets but darker mornings.
Farmers Weigh the Impact of Permanent Daylight Saving Time
Adair County dairy farmer Dianna Yell says farmers will adapt no matter what, but she prefers having more daylight in the evening.
“Farmers are resilient.
They work whether it’s going to be daylight or dark.”
Yell says feeding calves in the evening with more daylight would be her preference, even if mornings stay darker.
Other farmers News On 6 spoke with say that having less morning daylight could cut into their morning productivity.
Businesses See Potential Benefits
Employees at R Bar on Brookside say keeping daylight saving time year-round could help local businesses by encouraging people to stay out later.
“If we’re staying lighter later, it would definitely help with foot traffic.”
They say the extra evening daylight could bring more customers to restaurants and shops.
Not the First Attempt
The U.S. has observed daylight saving time for decades, and Congress briefly made it permanent during the 1970s energy crisis.
The change was later reversed after concerns about children traveling to school in the dark.
A similar bill also passed the Senate in 2022 with support from Oklahoma Sen.
James Lankford, but it never advanced in the House.
Safety Concerns Remain
Some lawmakers continue to oppose permanent daylight saving time because darker mornings could make it more dangerous for children waiting at bus stops.
