The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee will convene a hearing Thursday on whether to make daylight saving time permanent and end the twice-yearly time change.
The hearing, titled “If I Could Turn Back Time: Should We Lock the Clock,” comes just months after a bipartisan group of senators reintroduced the Sunshine Protection Act. The bill, led by Sens. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.), would make daylight saving time — with its characteristically longer summer daylight — the year-round standard.
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
