This measure will be voted on in the House of Representatives after being approved unanimously in the Senate. If it is approved in the lower house, the new law, known as the Sunshine Protection Actwould take effect in 2023, preventing further changes to the five continental United States time zones.
Daylight saving time was first applied in the United States in 1918, although this had been proposed more than a century earlier, as early as 1784 by Benjamin Franklin. Although this was not implemented throughout the United States, since entities such as Arizona, Hawaii and multiple territories and fractions of states do not add to this.
When will the
Daylight Savings
?
In the event that the House of Representatives gives the green light to this decision, it will be from the measure, from November 2023 permanent summer time would be implementedthis would suspend the change two a year and with this the period of adjustment of the sleep cycles.
When does daylight saving time end in 2022?
Regardless of the approval of this law, throughout 2022 we will maintain the corresponding changes, since this measure lasts 34 weeks and in the case of the United States it ends on Sunday, November 6, and in Mexico on October 31, which is when the clock will go back one hour and return to its natural time.
In Mexico, how does summer time apply?
Mexico faces a gap between the border region and the rest of the territory, since this is coordinated in the time change with the United States due to the economic, social and logistical activities that this area shares with the neighboring country.
Mexico applies summer time since 1996
Although there are two states that do not make time changes in the same way, as is the case of Quintana Roo, which during the winter has an hour more with respect to the centertying his time with that of Miami, New York and Toronto. In the case of Sonora, which always shares the schedule with Arizona, during the winter it shares a schedule with Culiacán, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua and Tepic (which is one hour less with respect to Central Mexico Time); for the summer it is aligned with the schedule that they have in Tijuana and Mexicali (which corresponds to a difference of two hours with Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey).
On April 3 the schedule in Mexico is advanced, this time lasts until October 30
This decision could have effects on Mexican regulations, since the time changes are based on trade relations with the United States and the use of sunlight.
