Nineteen states have passed legislation to make daylight saving time permanent. But those laws won’t take effect until Congress makes it legal. And the medical community sees one major problem.

    Don’t some states already do their own thing? Like Arizona? What is the holdup with allowing states to go permanent DST? Each state feels daylight a little differently due to basic geographic position so why are they dragging their feet or trying to implement a blanket policy. Let each state decide.

      AZ changed long ago and got grandfathered in before Congress decided this was an inter-state trade thing they should regulate. Same for Indianna I think?

        Indiana has DST now. Mitch Daniels made it part of his campaign platform for some reason.
