first on Fox 13 it would affect every
single person living in the Beehive
State today the Utah Legislature passed
a bill that would put Utah permanently
on daylight saving mode but as Fox 13's
Lauren Stein Brecker explains there's a
big hang-up keeping all our clocks in
limbo you're still gonna have to set
your clocks forward and back because
even though the Legislature passed that
bill today it all depends now what
happens on a federal level
a few hundred clocks at least yes there
is each set to different hours and
minutes
there's always something chiming like
you can hear right now so it's no
surprise daylight saving time is
sometimes a topic of conversation in
norms shop that today is pretty timely
overtime people have come in and I wish
they would just leave it alone and you
know things like that that wish came
true Wednesday when the state
legislature passed a bill to keep these
clocks on one time all year round but
there's no set date for it to take
effect mainly because right now it can't
the federal government doesn't allow
states to permanently observe daylight
saving the state of Utah is stuck in
making any decision Utah congressman Rob
Bishop introduced legislation last year
that would give states the power to do
what they want it has yet to move out of
committee which means time could keep
ticking with no change for the state
could drag out into the end of this year
in which case it wouldn't take effect
until next year or a couple years after
that
still the idea of doing away with the
back and forth is enough to excite norm
that is nice too
to be all the same all year long even if
the clocks here are on their own time
anyway now that the bill has been passed
it goes to governor gary Herbert who
will either sign it or veto it but of
course even after that it all depends on
what happens on that federal level in
