Seems like it will happen soon...
>In the last four years, 19 states have enacted legislation or passed resolutions to provide for year-round daylight saving time, if Congress were to allow such a change, and in some cases, if surrounding states enact the same legislation. Because federal law does not currently allow full-time DST, Congress would have to act before states could adopt changes. The 19 states are:
>Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota, Mississippi and Montana (2021).
>Idaho, Louisiana, Ohio (resolution), South Carolina, Utah and Wyoming (2020).
>Arkansas, Delaware, Maine, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington (2019).
>Florida (2018; California voters also authorized such a change that year, but legislative action is pending).

- Asmod4n 5y agoso all they wanna do is to change their timezone?
- seniorsassycat 5y agoI think most of these laws have been written as wanting to use daylight time year round, which isn't allowed by federal law. Federally states can use standard time or switch between standard and daylight but they cannot always follow daylight time. Daylight time is the same as standard time of the time zone to the east, so I don't know why these states haven asked the transportation sec to reassign their timezones.
