We are a week into daylight saving time and lawmakers are looking for a way to lock the clock.

It's a concept many Oklahomans are getting tired of, falling back and springing forward.

Although the disruption in sleep schedules has gained a lot of attention recently, lawmakers in Washington D.C. and Oklahoma can't agree on how to manage the time.

The Sunshine Protection Act, which would allow states to run on daylight saving time, passed through the U.S. Senate last week and is hearing debate in the House.

But for now, states don't have the option to stay on daylight saving time.

That's why Rep. Kevin West, (R)-Moore, introduced HB3146.

"As it stands today, we can only lock the clock on standard time," Rep. West said. "So by the way I did this bill by putting it to a vote of the people, if you vote on yes to this today you're saying your constituents get a chance to go to the poll and decide if they want this, or if they don't."

The bill passed 53-37 on the House Floor, and would give Oklahomans the option on the November ballot to either stay on standard time or continue to switch twice a year.

"This would give Oklahomans the opportunity to say no we don't want to do that anymore or hey we're fine with that we'll keep doing that," Rep. West said.

If the Sunshine Protection Act passes federally though, the options on the ballot could change.

Instead of voting for standard time or keeping the status quo of changing, the choices would be locking the clock on standard time or daylight saving time.

What makes the issue more convoluted is that there's also a bill running through the Oklahoma Senate that would lock the clock on daylight saving time instead of standard time.

The bill couldn't go into affect unless the Sunshine Protection Act passed federally.

Rep. Forrest Bennett, (D)- OKC, voted against Rep. West's bill. He's in favor of locking the clock on daylight saving time, and has concerns with the conflicting bills going through the legislature.

"What I do fear is that people will vote for the state question without knowing which saving, light saving they're going for, and will end up being out of step with the rest of the country," Rep. Bennett said.

Some state lawmakers think they should wait to see what happens federally to decide which bill to move forward.

The deadline for Oklahoma House and Senate bills and joint resolutions to be heard in their chamber of origin is this Thursday.

There's currently no set timeline on the federal level for the Sunshine Protection Act.
