Not sure what point you’re making other than that in general, the existence of states depends on people recognizing them and following their rules, which is true but doesn’t have much to do with DST specifically.
- randyrand 8y agomy point is - unlike most rules though, there is no law forcing you to follow what the state decides for timing. it’s really not a state vs federal thing because neither enforces it. sure youd need to follow i it for state related hours, but that’s it.
