Senate backs extension of daylight saving time
The Senate passed a measure to extend daylight saving time by about a month starting the first Sunday in April and running to the first Sunday in November. Supporters cite energy savings and safety gains while opponents warn of darker mornings for children. The bill mirrors the House version and would affect most states with current law unchanged for some territories.
