Set clocks back one hour Nov. 6

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ENDS

At 2 a.m. Pacific time on Sunday, Nov. 6, Leisure World residents will have to set their clocks back by one hour.

That’s when daylight saving ends and clocks must be adjusted, even though in 2018, California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 7, a ballot initiative that opened the door to permanently adopting daylight saving time.

Prop. 7 gave state lawmakers the power to pass legislation making daylight saving time permanent. Less than a month later, Assemblyman Kansen Chu introduced AB 7, the Daylight Saving Time law Prop. 7 enabled, but the legislature never passed it.

Even if it had, the federal government would still need to approve the change.

This year, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a bill called the Sunshine Protection Act, which was introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida. The bill would permanently extend daylight saving time from eight months of the year to the full 12 months. But the measure has not yet been passed by the U.S. House of Repre-GREAT sentatives, nor has it been signed into law by President Joe Biden.
