Push For Year-Round DST Intensifies: What NJ Lawmakers Say

New Jersey could soon stop changing its clocks for good. State Sen. Shirley Turner has introduced a bill that would lock New Jersey onto permanent daylight saving time once Congress gives states the green light, and President Trump is pushing hard on the federal side, going so far as to post a senator’s phone number on social media to drum up support. Critics worry about darker winter mornings for kids at bus stops, while supporters point to health benefits, fewer accidents, and a boost for local businesses that benefit from longer evening daylight.
