DST Bill Passes House

The Indiana House of Representatives has passed a bill that would put the entire state on daylight-savings time next year. The vote was 51 to 47. Republican Representative Bill Ruppel of North Manchester voted against the bill. Republicans Dave Wolkins of Winona Lake, Dan Leonard of Huntington and Bill Friend of Macy voted for the bill. It now goes to the Senate. The Senate sponsor says he might move to send it to a conference committee, because it contains a provision that’s against federal law. That provision would allow individual counties to opt out of D-S-T.
