The Nevada Assembly Committee on Government Affairs heard a bill this week that would stop daylight saving time in the state. Assembly Bill 81 says Nevada would no longer have to move its clock forward on the second Sunday of March every year and back an hour on the first Sunday of every November.

Lawmakers in Nevada are considering a measure to end Daylight Saving Time in the state. Under Assembly Bill 81, Nevada would remain on Pacific Standard Time throughout the entire year, meaning residents would no longer need to change their clocks after 2025.

Daylight saving time became a national standard in 1966 when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act, which was established as a way to continue to conserve energy. The thinking was if it's light out longer, that's less time you'll need to use the lights in your house.
