Washington Senate approves year-round Daylight Saving Time bill

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Washington Senate has passed a measure that would make daylight saving time permanent if federal law changes.

The measure cleared the Senate on a 46-2 vote Tuesday. The Senate amended the House-approved measure and now it heads back to the House for a final vote.

The vote comes as more than two dozen states are considering measures to avoid the twice-yearly clock change.

If signed into law, Washington's measure would only take effect if Congress passes legislation allowing states to observe daylight saving time year-round. Currently, it is observed from the second Sunday in March until the first Sunday in November.

1. Florida did this a couple years ago as well.

Hopefully the US Congress will act and we can have normal hours throughout the year.

3. But I'll be glad that sunset isn't at 4:30.

Maybe I'll actually be able to see the sun after work for a change...

4. good point

there's always a flip side when it comes to daylight savings. It will be nice not to have to go through the switch.

5. That is worthless!

Might as well have a resolution telling Tim Eyman that he needs to be "more honest".

We don't need to wait for this to be done at the federal level - we can do it ourselves, now.
