Nevada is moving closer to eliminating the biannual clock change with the advancement of Assembly Bill 81, also known as “the Lock the Clock Act.” This legislation aims to keep the state on standard time throughout the year, starting in January 2026. If enacted, November would mark the last clock change in accordance with daylight saving time.
Supporters of the bill emphasize aligning time with natural circadian rhythms and reducing health risks associated with clock changes. However, some oppose the bill, such as Assemblymember Bert Gurr, who highlighted concerns from restaurant and golf course managers about losing evening daylight during summer.
Selena La Rue Hatch, the bill’s sponsor, pointed out that remaining on daylight saving time year-round is not an option due to federal restrictions. The bill passed the Assembly with a 27-15 vote and will now be reviewed by the Senate.

April 22, 2025 at 9:58 pmThis is why our elections are so very important. The peoples vote is to give authority via proxy to vote on our behalf. I am not saying it wouldn’t be better at the ballot box but it is how America works not just Nevada.

April 21, 2025 at 11:37 pmLeave it on daylight savings time we need more light longer and not dark so early. Kids come home from school and cannot even go out and play. Seniors cannot walk after dinner it’s dark out too early. Leave on daylight savings time.

April 22, 2025 at 9:50 pmThe issue is its a FEDERAL requirement if the state stays on one time it can not be Daylight Savings time. I agree with you but it is a federal regulation.

There’s a good reason why all of the other states are on daylight saving.

April 22, 2025 at 9:55 pmLike I said to a previous person the issue we run into is not everything can come to the ballot box. This is why who we elect to represent us is so very important.

April 22, 2025 at 9:56 pmI agree however federal regulations don’t allow it to stay at daylight savings time. That is something for DC to change.
