The change in Iowa could only take effect if the federal government passes a law like the daylight saving bill that passed in the U.S. Senate.
Enjoying the later sunsets? Mad about losing an hour of sleep last weekend? Iowa lawmakers think they have a solution: observe daylight saving time all year long. Lawmakers are considering a bill that would establish daylight saving time as the official time in the state year-round. The measure, House File 2331, passed the House last week on a vote of 82-13 and advanced through a Senate subcommittee Tuesday. Instead of « springing forward » to daylight saving time every March and « falling back » to standard time each November, Iowans would keep the same time for the entire year. Lawmakers have considered a version of the legislation for several years, but never passed it. But even if the bill becomes law in Iowa, nothing will change immediately. It would only take effect if the federal government passes legislation allowing states to shift to year-round daylight saving time. More: When is daylight saving time 2022?
