Clock Changing In Illinois: Here’s When We Turn Them Back An Hour
Maybe it only seems this way to me, but every time you see a piece about changing our clocks back an hour when fall rolls around, you’ll also see a photo of an old-timey alarm clock with the bells on top sitting out in a pile of leaves in a forest or woods someplace.
The photo above is exactly what I’m talking about.
It’s like we all decide at some point during the summer to throw our clocks out into the wilderness, then, a few months later, remember what we’ve done and go pick the clock up out of the pile of leaves and bring it back inside until it’s time to spring our clocks forward.
Maybe I’m reading a bit too much into the clock-changing imagery.

Daylight Saving Time. Autumn abstraction. Fall back time.
Everyone Really Seems To Want To Stop Changing Clocks Twice A Year, And We Also Really Seem To Want The Powers-That-Decide-These-Things To Just Pick One Time And Stick To It.
Despite all the talk about doing away with clock-changing twice a year in the United States, lawmakers in this state and throughout the country just can’t seem to get their act together and get rid of something that a majority of Illinoisans want to see go away once and for all.
There have been several efforts at making a change, but they’ve all failed and left us with no choice but to keep rolling with this spring forward/fall back cycle we’re currently trapped in.

In 2022, The U.S. Senate Took A Vote And Unanimously Passed A Bill That Would Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent
So why has nothing changed? Well, for one, this was done by voice-vote, and has not been taken up by the House of Representatives. Also, the current administration has not actually articulated a stance on the topic to begin with.
Then there’s the problem of picking the wrong method of time-keeping to begin with. After the vote in favor of permanent Daylight Saving Time, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine issued a statement that praised the idea of eliminating time changes, but lamented the fact that the Senate chose the wrong one to keep around:
The AASM position statement also indicates that “current evidence best supports the adoption of year-round standard time, which aligns best with human circadian biology and provides distinct benefits for public health and safety.” The statement was endorsed by more than 20 medical, scientific, and civic organizations, including the American College of Chest Physicians, American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, National PTA, National Safety Council, Society for Research on Biological Rhythms, and World Sleep Society.
While Everyone Works That Problem Out (Hopefully Within Our Lifetimes), Here’s When Illinoisans Should Turn Those Clocks Back
I wanted to give you a little heads-up time now, so you won’t find yourself scrambling later to change your clocks because you keep showing up early to everything.
Before 2005, clocks were to be turned forward on the first Sunday in April, then turned back again on the last Sunday in October.
Now, we “spring ahead” on the second Sunday in March, and “fall back” on the first Sunday in November. So, on Saturday November 2nd, turn your clocks back an hour before you call it a night so you’ll be all set when the time change happens at 2am on Sunday, November 3rd.

Weed industry watches end to legislative session in Springfield
The clock is ticking at the state capitol in Springfield. Lawmakers have the rest of tonight and then Saturday and Sunday.
And there are some big things on the line could affect hemp and marijuana businesses.
Lauren Scafidi spoke to Sway Dispensary in Lakeview about what they’re hoping for – and why they’re long overdue.
ILLINOIS – As lawmakers work through the final days of the legislative session, some Illinois cannabis business owners are pushing for changes they say would reduce costs and make it easier to operate.
Among their top priorities are adjustments to security and surveillance requirements that dispensary owners argue were put in place when recreational cannabis was still new to Illinois. They say the industry has matured and that some regulations should be updated to reflect that reality.
What’s being proposed:
One of the biggest concerns for dispensary owners involves security requirements.
Under current Illinois law, cannabis dispensaries must contract with third-party security companies. Some operators say that can cost between $180,000 and $200,000 a year.
Supporters of proposed changes say trained employees could be allowed to handle certain security responsibilities, giving businesses more flexibility while maintaining safety standards.
Dispensary owners are also seeking changes to video surveillance requirements.
Current law requires cannabis businesses to store security footage for 90 days. Operators say that can be costly, particularly for smaller businesses, and argue that most issues requiring video review are identified within hours or days.
Industry perspective:
Edie Moore, co-owner of Sway Dispensary in Chicago, said many of the current regulations were created when lawmakers were uncertain about what legal recreational cannabis would look like.
“They threw everything at the wall, everyone was really scared of what recreational cannabis was gonna be like,” Moore said. “And now that we’re several years in, most of us are like, why do we have this? We don’t need this. This is onerous and an overreach.”
Moore said the industry is not asking to eliminate security measures, but rather to modernize regulations that operators believe are unnecessarily burdensome.
What’s next:
The Illinois General Assembly is expected to conclude its spring legislative session this weekend.
“Illinois cannabis is a very young industry,” Moore said. “It’s not a cautionary tale. It’s just really kind of an unfinished story, and we really need the opportunity to finish it, to be treated like any other business and just be able to operate.”
