10 states across the country have enacted legislation to permanently observe daylight saving time. They are Maine, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, Delaware, Colorado, Texas, and Wyoming.
However, they need congressional approval to begin observing that change.
According to The Hill, “states do have the ability to lock their clocks, current federal regulations limit their decision to year-round standard time only.”
Arizona and Hawaii are currently the only two states that observe year-round standard time.
California voters approved a measure to do away with daylight saving time in 2018, but it has not yet come into effect.
Americans are split on the issue, but support for scrapping daylight saving time is growing, meaning people prefer more light in the morning and less in the evening. //
Poll found 54% of Americans are ready to do away with the practice.
Meanwhile, just 40% say they are in favor of observing daylight saving time — the lowest level in recorded history.
