He urged the committee to consider the impact the bill would have on industries that depend on daylight in the winter.
“We are concerned about the impacts that moving into permanent daylight saving time would have on this industry in particular,” he said. “If this changed, now it pushes the ability for us to do control work back an hour which in effect pushes the ski day back an hour which means our employees come later and they work longer.”
