The Utah House of Representatives has approved a bill allowing the state to eliminate daylight saving time. Sponsored by Rep. Joseph Elison, the bill would keep Utah on standard time year-round until federal law changes. Lawmakers cited constituent feedback against changing clocks twice a year but expressed concerns about losing an hour of daylight in the summer. Rep. Steve Eliason supported the bill, emphasizing the impact on individuals with special needs. The bill faces an uncertain future in the Senate, where leaders have previously rejected a similar proposal. If passed, Utah would need approval from Congress and at least four other Western states to implement year-round mountain daylight time. The legislative session is set to conclude on March 7. As debate continues, the fate of daylight saving time in Utah remains up in the air.
