WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers held their first hearing Thursday in more than three years on a long-running debate to end the practice of switching clocks twice a year.
The Senate Commerce Committee heard testimony on whether to make daylight saving time permanent or remain on standard time year round. The Senate unanimously voted in March 2022 to make daylight saving time permanent but that effort stalled in the House of Representatives, which never took up the issue.
