LANSING — One state lawmaker is wasting no time this new year trying to end Daylight Saving Time in Michigan.
The House Bill, introduced by state representatives Scott Dianda, John Chirkun, Sam Singh, Peter Pettalia, Tom Barrett and Robert Kosowski, would set Eastern Standard Time (EST) as the official time zone for the entire state of Michigan, therefore eliminating the observance of daylight saving time.
