(NEXSTAR) — We’re a couple of weeks away from the start of daylight saving time, and it isn’t just federal lawmakers (and President Donald Trump) who are hoping this is the last time we “spring forward.”

There has been growing interest in ditching the practice. Polls have shown Americans prefer permanent daylight saving time, though many health experts disagree.

In December, Trump threw his support behind eliminating the “inconvenient” and “costly” practice as the leaders of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) called to abolish daylight saving time.

While Trump didn’t clarify which side of the clock he’s on, lawmakers in many states have made their preference known this year.

In nearly two dozen states, legislation regarding daylight saving time has been introduced.

In some states, including Illinois and Ohio, lawmakers have brought forth resolutions that call on Congress to make daylight saving time permanent, which is already in the works. Several states have already passed such legislation, but more on that in a moment.
