flag Virginia keeps changing clocks due to lack of state action, despite public support for ending biannual shifts.

flag Virginia continues observing daylight saving time, following federal guidelines that allow states to opt out but don’t mandate annual clock changes. flag Despite over half of Americans favoring the end of biannual time shifts, Virginia has not passed legislation to adopt permanent daylight or standard time. flag Lawmakers have introduced bills to make either Eastern Daylight Time or Eastern Standard Time permanent, citing health and economic benefits, but no action has been taken. flag Experts warn that changing clocks disrupts sleep patterns and increases health risks, particularly after the spring forward. flag The upcoming state election coincides with this year’s time change, though candidates have not commented.
