International News: Mexico scraps daylight savings time except along U.S. border

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: On Wednesday, Mexican officials approved a bill to eliminate daylight saving time, putting an end to the practice of changing clocks twice a year.

However, some cities along the U.S. border can retain daylight saving time, presumably because they are so linked to U.S. cities, ABC reports.

Officials who opposed the measure said that less daylight in the afternoon could affect opportunities for children and adults to get exercise.

The bill now goes to President, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to be signed into law.

The law would go into effect on Sunday, when Mexico is scheduled to turn clocks back for the last time.
