OK U.S. Senator James Lankford re-introduces bill to “Lock The Clock”

0

WASHINGTON, DC (KFOR) - Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Rick Scott (R-FL) want to “lock the clock” by re-introducing legislation with bipartisan support for the measure.

According to both Senators, the Sunshine Protection Act will stop the twice-yearly time change and make Daylight Saving Time (DST) the national year-round standard despite two weeks ago
President-elect President Trump concluded no change is needed for Americans to change their clocks twice a year.

In a post on his social media site, President-elect Trump said his party would try to end the practice when he returns to office.

“The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient and very costly to our nation,” he wrote.

Sen. Lankford (R-OK) says studies show that making DST permanent could benefit the economy and the country.

“Twice a year, Oklahomans ask themselves—why do we still have to change our clocks? Moms of young children dread the time of year when clocks change, but babies’ schedules don’t. It is past time to get this bill to the President’s desk so we can stop the annoying twice-a-year reset of the clocks. Let’s lock the clocks.” Lankford said.

“I hear from Americans constantly that they are sick and tired of changing their clocks twice a year – it’s an unnecessary, decades-old practice that’s more of an annoyance to families than benefit to them. In 2018, as Governor of Florida, I signed legislation that would allow the state to opt out of the practice of changing the time and I’ve been a leading effort in getting this done on the federal level. I’m excited to have President Trump back in the White House and fully on board to LOCK THE CLOCK so we can get this good bill passed and make this common-sense change that will simplify and benefit the lives of American families.”

Rick Scott (R-FL)

The Senate unanimously passed the Sunshine Protection Act in the 117th Congress.

This bill would apply to states that currently participate in DST.
