The Senate on Wednesday passed legislation that would put all of Indiana on daylight-saving time, but the revised bill must win a second vote in the House to reach the desk of Gov. Mitch Daniels.

The Senate voted 28-22 in favor of the bill, which would require the entire state to change its clocks twice a year just as 47 other states do.

The House, which passed an earlier version of the bill, must still vote on the revised version.

If the bill becomes law, it would take effect next April.

It would require that 77 counties in the Eastern time zone change their clocks.

Five counties each in the northwestern and southwestern corners of the state are in the Central zone and observe daylight time. The bill would not change their status.
