The end of Daylight Saving: for this year or forever?
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- The vote for the future of Daylight Saving time is currently on pause, stuck in Congress as the U.S. House of Representatives remains split on what to do going forward.
The Senate voted to make Daylight Saving time permanent back in March, which would mean an end to the biannual switching of clocks in households across the country. But the road block in the House makes for a very uncertain future.
There are only 16 days left in the current Congress, so if the bill does not pass before the time is up, the bill will have to start the process all over again.
Here in the city, Colorado Springs residents told KRDO they want to see a decision made, and they want to see results in the House that match those that came out of the Senate.
"It'd be nice if it was just standardized, and we didn't have it throughout the entire nation," said resident Wayne Nosal. "It'd make things a lot simpler."
Another saying the time changes disrupt life for her and her family.
"It's so confusing," said Jennifer Sevigny. "So, I would like them to make a decision, you know, whether it stays or goes. It would be nice to to keep my family on track as well as myself and every other working adult."
