Senator Seward Proposes Eliminating Daylight Saving Time

State Senator James Seward is sponsoring a bill to eliminate the twice-a-year clock changes for daylight saving time. His measure would establish a task force comprising the commissioners of health, economic development, and agriculture and markets to study the effects of opting out of daylight saving time. Another Senator, James Skoufis, is sponsoring a similar measure that shifts New York to Atlantic Standard Time, meaning later sunsets in the winter.
