SO FAR, SO GOOD FOR LEGISLATION TO KEEP NEW MEXICO ON DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME. THE MEASURE PASSED THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE LAST FRIDAY AND IS NOW HEADED FOR THE SENATE. SPONSOR CLIFF PIRTLE OF ROSWELL SAYS IF IT PASSES AND THE GOVERNOR SIGNS IT … THE U-S TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT WILL HAVE TO SIGN OFF ON IT BECAUSE THE FEDS REQUIRE STATES THAT CHOOSE TO ABANDON THE TIME CHANGE TO STAY WITH STANDARD TIME. IF IT’S APPROVED, IT WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED THIS YEAR.
SENATOR PIRTLE TELLS 770 KKOB HE THINKS THE MOMENTUM AT THE ROUND HOUSE COULD LEAD TO HIS TIME CHANGE BILL BEING APPROVED BY LAWMAKERS THIS SESSION.
