The Issue

Support and pass Michigan House Bill 4303 to end Daylight Savings Time. This petition is to drive visibility to the bill in the Michigan legislature and get it to the governor for her approval.

Signatures will be communicated to:

1. Rep Hoitenga (Bill Sponsor)
2. Rep Whiteford (House Rep)
3. Sen Nesbitt (Senate Rep)
4. Rep Marino (House Commerce & Tourism Committee Chair, where bill is waiting)
5. Gov Whitmer

We support ending Daylight Savings Time in Michigan for the following reasons:

  1. Negative health consequences associated with DST: https://www.cnn.com/2016/03/11/health/daylight-saving-time-health-effects/index.html
  2. Negative economic impact of DST: https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2014/03/06/daylight-saving-time-at-what-cost/the-economic-toll-of-daylight-saving-time
  3. In addition to the negative macro effects, there are negative impacts on the micro scale as well. Families are impacted due to the health consequences, children are forced to struggle in school as they adjust to an arbitrary time change, etc.

It is time to end Daylight Savings Time in Michigan.
