Description | The Indiana House voted 51-46 late Thursday to pass the controversial issue. Gov. Mitch Daniels, who made passage of the time change one of his top priorities, will sign the bill soon so that on April 2, 2006, Hoosiers will join 47 other states in turning their clocks ahead one hour.
The climactic vote at 11:36 p.m. came after a half-hour of emotional testimony, in which lawmakers on both sides of the debate brushed away tears. They had fought about the issue all session; they had been deadlocked in the House all day.
The bill -- Senate Bill 127 -- had come within two votes of being killed earlier Thursday, when the House voted 49-48 against the time change. |
