excerpts: 

Like it or not, our annual ritual of changing our clocks to daylight saving time is coming on Sunday, March 12, at 2 a.m



Do some states want year-round DST?

Yes. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, in the past five 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."


Who's in charge of time?

Surprisingly, the U.S. Department of Transportation is in charge of daylight saving time and all time zones in the U.S.

"The oversight of time zones was assigned to DOT because time standards are important for many modes of transportation," according to the department's website.

What is the future of daylight saving time?: Year-round change depends on federal vote.
