N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Senate has killed a bill that would put an end to daylight saving time and make Central time the state’s official time zone.

The measure failed 11-33 on Tuesday.

A dozen of North Dakota’s 53 counties, all of them west of the Missouri River, are either partially or wholly within the Mountain time zone.

The idea of one time zone has been proposed in the Legislature several times over the years but has never gotten needed support.
