The North Dakota House has voted 55 to 37 in favor of staying on standard time year-round, eliminating the need to change clocks twice a year. The decision was met with mixed reactions from lawmakers, with Rep. Desiree Morton supporting the move as a way for North Dakota to set the standard for the rest of the country. On the other hand, Rep. Bernie Satrom opposed the change, citing the enjoyment of an extra hour of sunlight in the summer. Rep. Lawrence Klemin suggested a compromise where the eastern part of the state would be on central standard time and the western zone on mountain daylight time. House Bill 1259 will now be considered in the state Senate. The debate over daylight saving time continues to be a hot topic, with lawmakers divided on the best approach for North Dakota.
