NEWS REPORTS INDICATE THAT THERE IS A BILL IN WASHINGTON THAT WOULD MAKE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME PERMANENT. THIS WOULD ELIMINATE THE BI-ANNUAL CHANGING OF THE CLOCKS IN SPRING AND FALL. THE BILL ALREADY PASSED UNANIMOUSLY IN THE SENATE, AND NOW HEADS TO THE HOUSE FOR ITS CONSIDERATION. THE BILL WOULD THEN HAVE TO BE SIGNED INTO LAW BY THE PRESIDENT. THIS MOVE MEANS THAT DAYLIGHT WOULD BE WITH US LONGER YEAR ROUND SEN. RICK SCOTT OF FLORIDA SAID THAT CHANGING THE CLOCKS HAS BECOME OUTDATED AND UNNECESSARY, AND THAT STANDARD TIME LASTS ONLY 4 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. MANY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS SEEM TO BE IN LINE WITH MAKING DST PERMANENT.
