TRACKING SOUTH CAROLINA’S DAYLIGHT SAVINGS BILL

A bill to keep South Carolina on Daylight Savings Time year-round has passed both legislative chambers in Columbia and requires only the signature of the governor. But one of its supporters, Senator Thomas Alexander, says the bill is crafted in a way that the state won’t make the switch until the U-S Congress signifies its approval. Consistency may be paramount, as Alexander says South Carolina will keep its eyes on its neighboring states to guard against confusion in the event one state adopts DST year-round, while a neighboring doesn’t.
