One bill from the Senate is now active in New Mexico:<\/p>\n
From our Facebook post<\/a>:<\/p>\n This bill, if passed, would ask the Secretary of the US Department of Transportation “to be transferred to the central time zone”. That’s actually good news, since the US DOT is responsible for doing this. So far, so good.<\/p>\n But then it gets juicy. A later part of the bill says that if the…<\/span> DOT approves the change: Wait!?! You want the US DOT to change you to the Central Time Zone, but then you want to call New Mexico’s time “Mountain Daylight Saving Time”? (Yes, it’s SUPPOSED to be Saving, without the S.)<\/p>\n We’ll see how this pans out. Can states get any more creative with their DST legislation?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n New Mexico State Legislature<\/a><\/p>\n SB 377<\/a><\/p>\n Senator Cliff Pirtle<\/a><\/p>\n Posts from this Time Zone Report site<\/a><\/p>\n Time Zone Report’s Twitter\u00a0collection “NM-DST-Legislation”<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
