A bill to withdraw Wyoming from the Daylight-Saving Time program has been placed in general file in the House with a recommended “do Pass.” The bill points out that the federal Uniform Time Act of 1966 authorizes a state that is entirely situated within one time zone, as the state of Wyoming is, to exempt itself from the change to daylight saving time as long as it does so uniformly as an entire state. Moreover, the bill states that the biannual change of time between mountain standard time and mountain daylight time is disruptive to commerce and to the daily schedules of the residents of the state. As such, the proposed legislation Wyoming would discontinue observing Daylight Saving Time provided Montana, Idaho, Utah and Colorado do the same. That means the uniform time within the state of Wyoming would be coordinated universal time offset by six hours throughout the year. Currently, only Arizona and Hawaii do not shift to Daylight Saving Time during the summer months.
