Lawmakers in Multiple States Seek to End Biannual Clock Changes

Harrisburg Lancaster Lebanon York, PA, October 18, 2026 —

Lawmakers in various U.S. states attempted this year to eliminate the biannual clock changes, according to the available summary. It does not identify the states or the lawmakers involved, or describe the specific proposals.

The summary also does not say whether any of the efforts advanced, were approved or became law. It provides no details about legislative votes, proposed start dates or the clock schedule lawmakers sought to establish. As a result, the scope and status of the attempts cannot be determined from the information provided.

The account describes the efforts as occurring in “various” states, but does not give a number or indicate whether the initiatives were coordinated. It also does not specify which calendar year “this year” refers to. No statements from lawmakers or other participants were included.

Without those details, the reported trend is limited to the fact that lawmakers in more than one state attempted to eliminate the recurring clock changes. The available information does not establish what happened to any individual proposal or whether the efforts changed clock practices anywhere. The names of the states, the text and status of the proposals, and their outcomes were not provided.
