BISMARCK — The North Dakota Senate voted down a bill Monday, April 7, to require the state to observe daylight saving time year-round if certain prerequisites were met.

In 2021, the North Dakota Senate passed a bill that would have put the state on daylight saving time all year, but it failed in the House. Similar bills have been proposed in other states.

Two states – Hawaii and Arizona – don't observe daylight saving time, and many other states have considered legislation to either get rid of it or make it permanent, including North Dakota.

In 2024 a bill was introduced to the South Dakota State Legislature to make daylight saving time permanent if Congress makes the change. House Bill 1009 died in chamber without much progress.
