The Wyoming Senate on Monday gave initial approval to a bill that could eventually lead to doing away with the twice-a-year time changes in the state.
But House Bill 44 was also significantly changed from its original form.
Senators adopted an amendment proposed by Sen. Ogden Driskill [R-Devils Tower] that would change the requirement in the House Bill that Wyoming would ask the federal government for permission to stay on Daylight Saving Time year-round if the surrounding states of Colorado, Utah, Montana and Idaho pass similar legislation.
