The bill will be read in the House today and the repeal effort will begin in the lower branch tomorrow. A Senate vote occurred yesterday, marking a pivotal step in the legislative process.
The Senate recorded ten repeal supporters and many opponents including Boston and Worcester members with one paired vote, after a two hour debate. Advocates argued farmers suffer from the shortened daylight saving period, while daylight saving supporters cited industrial workers and wartime like efficiency.
