U.S. clocks remain set to fall back Nov. 1 as bill awaits Senate vote

The Enquirer

Daylight saving time is scheduled to end at 2 a.m. on Nov. 1, 2026, when most Americans will set clocks back an hour. The House passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, but the Senate has not voted, so the current schedule remains in place.

The House approved the Sunshine Protection Act in July by a 308–117 vote. In Ohio, permanent daylight saving time would have little effect in summer, but in winter both sunrise and sunset would shift an hour later.

Hawaii, parts of Arizona and the U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands do not observe daylight saving time. The Navajo Nation, which spans parts of Arizona, Utah and New Mexico, does. Under current law, daylight saving time is scheduled to resume March 14, 2027.
