(Amy Dalrymple – North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakotans would no longer need to change their clocks for daylight saving time under a bill approved by House lawmakers.
The House voted 55-37 to approve House Bill 1259, which would keep the state on standard time year-round. The bill does not affect time zones.
Rep. Desiree Morton, R-Fargo, said legislators heard testimony in support of the bill that pointed to adverse health effects of changing clocks twice a year.
The legislation now must be passed by the state Senate and signed by the governor before it can become state law.
