More good news arrived from the Tennessee General Assembly for folks who no longer want to deal with resetting all their clocks twice each year.

A bill that would make Daylight Saving time the year-round standard in Tennessee has taken another step forward after the Senate, State and Local Government committee recommended it for passage.

The Senate bill has been referred next to the Senate Calendar Committee, which means it could see a vote on the Senate floor. The committee had postponed action on the bill numerous times since mid-March.

However, the House bill still appears to be in limbo in the House Finance, Ways and Means committee because there has been no word on its status since it was postponed and placed on their calendar for action this week.

If the bill passes, that means no more spring-ing forward or fall-ing back.

That also means when surrounding states adjust to standard time in the winter months it could create some serious time zone confusion during those months for folks who frequently travel or live near the state line.
