Efforts to eliminate seasonal time changes gained momentum in state legislatures nationwide as lawmakers introduced bills to permanently adopt either daylight saving or standard time. The proposals reflect growing public frustration with the practice, which disrupts sleep patterns and has faced criticism for its lack of clear benefits.

Supporters argue the time shifts are outdated, while opponents warn of potential disruptions to agriculture, commerce, and public safety.
Lawmakers across the U.S. tried to keep their clocks from changing this year.
