Illinois State Senator Moves To Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent

An Illinois state Senator is moving to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Senator Andy Manar introduced a bill yesterday to make Daylight Saving time the year-round standard time for the whole state beginning the second Sunday of March 2020. Manar says the bill was inspired by the lobbying efforts of a central Illinois high school civics class. President Trump has expressed support of the idea on a national level.
