They literally can't stay on DST. Florida already basically passed this, but it's held up in Congress as is tradition. Check out the Sunshine Protection Act.

So, right now states can't stay on DST because federal law doesn't currently allow it. It does however allow permanent standard time, and petitioning for change of time zone. So, I wish Georgia, Florida, et al would just give Congress a big middle finger by switching to permanent Atlantic Standard Time. Maybe then they'd realize how silly this all is.

- GoblinSlayer 7y agoThen they can shift work hours :) who cares what numbers clock shows.
- axaxs 7y agoCorrect, but they can actually petition the feds to change their time zone. Whether or not that is likely, I don't know. It seems like something that would be very rare.
- nulbyte 7y agoThey can, yes, but not much of a middle finger.
