Oregon's Daylight Saving Time Bill Stalls in Senate

The Oregon Senate fails to advance a bill that would have ended daylight saving time in the state, sending it back to committee for further amendments.

• Oregon's state senate failed to advance a bill that would have abolished daylight saving time in most of the state, opting instead to send it back to committee for further amendments.
• The bill aimed to eliminate the annual switch to daylight saving time and keep the state on standard time throughout the year.
• Neighboring states, including Idaho, Washington, and California, are considering similar measures to end daylight saving time.
• The decision to send the bill back to committee was influenced by concerns over potential chaos at state borders and the desire to coordinate with neighboring states.
• Advocates for the bill argue that permanent standard time would have several health benefits and reduce confusion caused by the current biannual time change.
