End of daylight saving time in Mexico (fin del horario de verano)
Also: Ley de los Husos Horarios · Volver al reloj de Dios
In 2022 Mexico's federal government proposed and won a law ending the summer clock change used since 1996. The health secretary, Jorge Alcocer, made the public case in the president's daily press conference: the change disrupts the body clock, costs teenagers sleep, and is linked to drowsiness, poor concentration and depression; the energy secretary said the power savings were tiny. Only northern border municipalities keep a seasonal change.

Research notes
Created 2026-10-24 by an AI research pass for #103 (G1); not reviewed by a person. No official gob.mx page opened; sources are news reports. This is a government policy push with health messaging rather than a branded campaign; reviewer may decide it belongs only as context. Senate vote counts differ between outlets (Expansión reports 56-29). Mexico kept standard time, matching the sleep societies' advice. To verify: 2022, 1996, 71%, 59-25-12, 26 Oct, 30 Oct, 32 minutes (teen sleep loss cited by Alcocer, not used in card).
