Map: Where daylight saving time could become permanent

"By the numbers: Overall, 35 states have considered or are considering resolutions related to DST in 2025 - with a portion of those bills connected to permanent standard time - according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Between the lines: California voters approved permanent DST back in 2018 via ballot measure, but state lawmakers haven't yet passed the required legislation."

"Catch up quick: Many states that have passed measures related to permanent DST are still sorting out how it would actually work - and some have passed it contingent on neighboring states following suit. The bottom line: States can switch to year-round standard time (like Arizona and Hawaii have already done), but they can only adopt permanent DST with an act of Congress - meaning these measures are effectively moot absent federal action."

Thirty-five states considered or are considering resolutions related to daylight saving time in 2025, with some bills tied to permanent standard time according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. California voters approved permanent DST via a 2018 ballot measure, but state lawmakers have not enacted the required legislation. Several states that passed measures tied to permanent DST remain undecided on implementation details and some conditioned changes on neighboring states taking similar action. States can switch to year-round standard time without federal approval, but adoption of permanent DST requires an act of Congress, leaving state measures ineffective without federal action.
