The Uniform Time Act of 1966 provided standardization in the dates of beginning and end of daylight time in the U.S. but allowed for local exemptions from its observance. The act provided that daylight time begin on the last Sunday in April and end on the last Sunday in October, with the changeover to occur at 2 a.m. local time. During the energy crisis years, Congress enacted earlier starting dates for daylight time. In 1974, daylight time began on 6 January and in 1975 it began on 23 February. After those two years the starting date reverted to the last Sunday in April. In 1986, a law was passed that shifted the starting date of daylight time to the first Sunday in April, beginning in 1987.
Comments. The dark days of winter are almost over. Daylight-saving time begins on March 8, 2015. That means at 2 a.m. on March 8 you will move your clocks forward one hour. Spring forward, if you will. You may lose an hour of sleep, but you'll gain a hour of daylight in the evening.
