Bill proposes daylight-saving time year-round
The Associated Press • April 13, 2010
BATON ROUGE — Liking the recent switch to daylight-saving time? One lawmaker is proposing that Louisiana observe it year-round.
Abbeville Rep. Jonathan Perry's bill is scheduled for a hearing today in the House Commerce Committee. It would require a permanent "spring forward," prohibiting the state from reverting back to standard time on Nov. 7, when most of the rest of the nation falls back an hour.
Similar proposals have failed in the Louisiana Legislature in previous years, despite arguments the adjustment could reduce energy usage.
