Draft bill #<\/b>4201<\/b><\/a> of October 9, 2020<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sponsor:<\/span><\/b> independent MP Ruslan Stefanchuk<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Status:<\/span><\/b> adopted in full<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is affected: <\/span><\/b>citizens of Ukraine<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary: <\/span><\/b>starting from 2025, the seasonal transition to daylight saving time in Ukraine will be canceled. Therefore, this year on Sunday, October 27, clock hands will be moved to standard time for Ukraine (UTC +2) for the last time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is right: <\/span><\/b>several <\/span>studies<\/span><\/a> indicate that changing the clock disrupts people\u2019s biological rhythms, negatively affecting their overall condition, both physiologically and psychologically. On top of that, there is an increase in traffic accidents due to lack of sleep, a decline in citizens\u2019 well-being, decreased productivity, and significant aggravation of chronic diseases.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other <\/span>research<\/span><\/a> points out that students become less active after the clock change, directly affecting the quality of education. Thus, ending daylight saving time transitions will improve people\u2019s well-being.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is wrong:<\/span><\/b> moving clocks back and forth helps save daylight in the morning during winter and in the evening during summer, which could be crucial for Ukraine amid an electricity shortage. Furthermore, the bill was passed without proper discussion and an information campaign explaining the reasons and consequences of such a decision.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternative solution:<\/span><\/b> to <\/span>postpone the cancellation of seasonal time changes until the end of martial law in Ukraine and the stabilization of the energy system.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to help the legislator:<\/span><\/b> proposals<\/span><\/a> concerning the draft bill can be <\/span>sent<\/span><\/a> to the Office of the President of Ukraine.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
