The biannual implementation of daylight saving time in the United States could become a relic of the past should Congress pass legislation instituting permanent daylight saving time.

The United States has previously undertaken such an endeavor, most recently in the 1970s, yet its efficacy proved ephemeral.

In 1973, the legislature passed a bill instituting permanent daylight saving time for a trial period from January 1974 to April 1975, yet the measure endured only until October before being rescinded amid vehement public opposition.

One of the principal concerns was that students would have to commute to school in darkness, and nowadays there is a gradual trend toward later school start times.
