Starting in 2007, daylight time begins in the United States on the
second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. On the
second Sunday in March, clocks are set ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. local
standard time, which becomes 3:00 a.m. local daylight time. On the first
Sunday in November, clocks are set back one hour at 2:00 a.m. local
daylight time, which becomes 1:00 a.m. local standard time. These dates
were established by Congress in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Pub. L.
no. 109-58, 119 Stat 594 (2005).
Not all places in the U.S. observe daylight time. In particular, Hawaii
and most of Arizona do not use it. Indiana adopted its use beginning in
2006.
