Bill Passed May Resolve County Time Differences

Indiana, one of the nation’s last holdouts for observing daylight saving time, may be on the brink of changing its clocks.

For the first time in more than two decades, the Indiana House has passed a bill that would require the entire state to move its clocks forward an hour in April and back an hour in October -- as do 47 other states.

Knowing just what time it is on a trip through Indiana is no easy task: 77 counties in the Eastern time zone do not change clocks while five others do. The state also has 10 counties in the Central time zone that do observe daylight savings time.

Gov. Mitch Daniels has made mending the split a priority -- saying the time warp costs the state money and jobs. Businesses say it causes mix-ups over airline flights, delivery times and conference calls.
