Daylight Saving Time

Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, April 2nd. Be sure to turn your clocks forward one hour Saturday night.

On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday of March and end the first Sunday of November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to revert the Daylight Saving Time back to the 2005 time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete. http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html
