Update on Daylight Savings Time in State of Delaware:
Daylight saving time is right around the corner, and losing an hour of sleep is difficult each year.
However, if a Delaware law is ever fully enacted, First State residents won’t have to spring forward or fall back.
Here’s what to know about daylight saving time and Delaware’s attempts to stop the twice-a-year time change.
When does daylight saving start in 2026?
Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. March 8, 2026.
Is there a Delaware law to make daylight savings permanent?
Former Delaware senator David McBride sponsored Senate Bill 73 to permanently put Delaware on daylight savings time. The bill passed the Senate on June 12, 2019 on a 17-4 vote. It passed the House on a 35-5 vote with one representative abstaining. Governor John Carney signed the bill on Aug. 12, 2019 and there is no sunset date for it.
