Time Change Bill Raises Opposition

A bill to keep Oregon on Standard Time all year drew opposition in the state Senate. It passed by only two votes.

Supporters say it aligns naturally with body clocks, but critics say having more daylight in the evenings would increase safety during the winter.

Malheur County, which is currently on Mountain Time, would stay that way and continue to change twice a year.

If the bill passes the House and it's signed by the Governor, it would only take effect if Washington and California make a similar change.

The time change is this weekend as clocks spring forward to Daylight Saving time.
