1:31 A Senate committee has recommended a bill that would keep North Dakota on Daylight Savings Time year-round, if and when Congress approves, and when our neighboring states adopt it as well. During a hearing before the Senate Political Subdivisions Committee, a representative of the group “Save Standard Time” urged the Committee to amend HB 1371, so that North Dakota would stay on standard time year-round. Jay Pea of San Francisco said there’s a reason we don’t observe daylight savings time in the winter. "This bill would delay North Dakota sunrise until past 8 am DST for up to five months," Pea said. "Most school and workdays begin at 8 am, so for nearly half the year, this bill would force hundreds of thousands to start school or work in the dark."
