It is time for the change to Daylight Saving Time. People should move their clocks 1 hour forward at 2 a.m. Sunday or before going to bed Saturday night. Daylight Saving Time starts on the second Sunday in March and runs through the first Sunday in November. It is also a time when residents are encouraged to check or replace smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in their homes. The new Illinois Smoke Alarm Law went into effect January 1st and requires that alarms with 10 year sealed batteries be installed in all single or multi-family homes moving forward.
