Griffo continues advocating to stop changing the clocks twice per-year

ALBANY, NY- New York State Senator Joe Griffo is continuing his push to stop changing the clocks in the spring and in the fall.

We just moved our clocks an hour forward on Sunday and Senator Griffo’s office claims various studies show the transitions each spring and autumn leads to an increase in car accidents, causes more on-site work incidents and disrupts the health of all who are subject to the change in time.

According to Senator Griffo, the federal government must pass legislation allowing states to adopt daylight saving time as the permanent standard measure of time.

“There is active federal legislation that would make daylight saving permanent across the nation, and I am hopeful that our congressional representatives will support this bill and push for it to come up for a vote in their respective chambers,” he explained.

Sen. Griffo and Assemblyman Santabarbara recently sent letters to Sen. Charles Schumer, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Congressman John Mannion, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, Congressman Josh Riley and Congressman Paul Tonko urging the representatives to support the Sunshine Protection Act of 2025 that has been introduced in Congress.

The bipartisan federal bill would make daylight saving time the permanent across the United States.
