When will we have to turn our clocks back for the end of daylight saving time?

Fall is here, and daylight saving time will end soon, meaning it is time to turn our clocks back an hour.

This year, daylight saving time began on March 13 and ends on Nov. 6. But the twice-yearly clock switch may not last for much longer.

In March, the U.S. Senate passed legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent starting in 2023. The Sunshine Protection Act is now in front of the House of Representatives for approval before it can go to the president to sign into law.

The bill, if passed, would ensure Americans no longer have to change their clocks twice a year. If it is approved by the House and signed by President Joe Biden, the law would go into effect Nov. 5, 2023.
