When Does Daylight Saving Time 2024 End For Montanans

When Does Montana ‘Fall Back’ To End Daylight Saving Time In 2024?

I can't be the only one who is sad that the sun is now setting in Montana before 9pm.

With the sun setting earlier every night, it means that we'll soon have to "fall back" as daylight saving time will be ending.

Will America Ever Get Rid Of Daylight Saving Time?

Currently there are only two states in America that don't have to stay up till 2 a.m. or remember to adjust their clocks before bedtime.

Hawaii dropped Daylight Saving Time in 1967 due to the fact that sunrise and sunset over the islands happen basically at the same time all year round.

The next year Arizona joined them, using the argument that because of their climate being so harsh, it saves them money on energy costs.

What Day Does Daylight Saving Time End In Montana?

Currently there is a bill named the "Sunshine Protection Act" that was passed by the Senate in 2022 and would make Daylight Saving Time permanent starting in 2023.

Last I checked, it's 2024, so why didn't it go into effect? Well, that would be because the U.S. House of Representatives never voted on it, so it never became a law.

Almost 30 states have introduced state legislation, including Montana, to end the twice a year changing of clocks.

Sadly, we'll have to keep changing them once again this year, as the date in 2024 to fall back will happen on November 3rd at 2 a.m.
