Oregon Senators Divided Over Permanent Standard Time Bill
TL;DR
Oregon senators were evenly split on the question of whether to move the state to permanent standard time, with concerns raised about potential chaos at the border with neighboring states. The bill will be reconsidered after new language is added, and a "trigger" clause may be included to restrict Oregon from officially ending daylight saving time until neighboring states do as well. Regardless of the outcome, this year's daylight saving time begins on March 10.
