Indiana 2006 time bill summary and action steps.

If you agree that Indiana should be in a single time zone, contact your elected representatives to urge a committee hearing on one or more of the following bills.

800-382-9467, Indiana Senate

800-382-9842, Indiana House of Representatives

E-mail your legislators.

E-mail Governor Daniels.

Note: Any bills not passed by the house of origin by Thursday, 2 February 2006 are officially dead. However, with sufficient motivation, the legislators can be very creative about bringing legislation back to life even after it has "died" a natural death a couple of times (as we saw last year with the DST bill).
