The Senate approved the measure, called the Sunshine Protection Act, unanimously by voice vote. The House of Representatives, which has held a committee hearing on the matter, must still pass the bill before it can go to President Joe Biden to sign.

the problem is, this part never happened.

They voted to keep DST all year but can't without congressional approval.

i think i knew that. but how did arizona and indiana get it, but no one else can?

edit: wait, this senate bill was the bill to implement it, but then they just went for the whole country instead, right? if they had just stuck to passing it for florida it likely would have passed without any issues?

Probably not. Welcome to American Politics, where every single thing, no matter how pointless, trivial, or irrelevant, can be a pitched battleground between two sides that refuse to work together.

Because a state can opt out of DST on its own. Florida wanted to keep DST all year.

probabaly. though the article did say the issue in the house was more regional then political. of course, that doesn't mean it wouldn't become political if the regional became irrelevant.

They didn't really "vote on it." Shitty Sinema snuck it into some general procedurey bullshit they handwave through because she's a shitty person. It never got reviewed and legitimately brought to the floor. So the house won't approve and confirm it on principal.

I wish they'd hurry up and just pick one in the House. I don't care if we get permanent daylight savings time or standard time. Just pick one already. Don't let the bill expire.

No, the piece of shit senator in question is from Arizona. They don't observe it at all. It would slightly benefit businesses in Arizona if there wasn't a need to adapt when other states change. The asshole is appealing to them.

Yeah, I want it gone. The company I work for is based in AZ. Im in CA. They have people working remote in various other states too. They require everyone to work on AZ time.

Now I have to start an hour earlier every day because of this crap and their ridiculous rules. Annoys me more and more every year.

How?

More daylight in the afternoon > More daylight in the morning, all seasons

Unless you live in a place like Arizona where its extremely hot in the daytime. Most places arent like that.

States are individually allowed to opt in or out of DST, which is what Indiana did. Florida wants to keep DST all year, which requires congressional approval.
