time change

In 2019, a similar bill passed the state House but died on back-to-back tie votes in the Wyoming Senate.

The votes came as the 2020 legislative session wound down. It is scheduled to wrap up on Thursday.

At least 11 states have approved various resolutions to do away with the time changes, and others are pending in other states.

Rep. Dan Laursen said the time change hurts people, including the elderly and school children.

The bill came very close to being approved in 2019, winning approval by a 35-21 vote in the house and losing on a tied Senate vote.
