Bill moves closer to end Daylight saving time.

House Bill 0247, more commonly known as the Daylight Saving bill, moved one step closer to becoming law Monday.

A version of the bill already passed the Senate in February.

If the bill passes, the state of Tennessee would no longer observe daylight saving time.

According to a report by NPR, studies show that changing the clocks does not lead to significant energy savings, and is linked to increased heart attacks, strokes and traffic accidents due to the disruption in our daily biological cycles
