If you’re headed to Mexico this weekend you may notice a difference in what time it is.
The Mexico Senate has approved a bill that eliminates daylight saving time, except in cities along the border that can keep daylight saving time because they’re so linked to U.S. cities. And if the President of Mexico signs it, it is scheduled to go into effect this Sunday.
So all the talk in recent years about the annual time changes is back as we in the United States, except for a couple of states, approach the day we will turn back the clocks one hour as we switch back to standard time from daylight saving time. That is set for November 6th.
But doing it this year could be the last time we do it. You may remember why.
The U.S. Senate last March passed a federal bill called the "Sunshine Protection Act". It would make daylight saving time the standard time all year long.
But the bill, which was written to take effect in November of 2023, still has to be passed by a sizable majority in the U.S. House and signed by the President before it could become law.
So that means more debate about the pros and cons of changing the time twice a year and the topic will be something to watch for in the coming months.
