    In theory, individual states could choose to not do daylight savings time. Two states already don’t use it and there was a proposal for Florida to get rid of it and move to the Atlantic Time Zone.

      Yup. It’s switching to permanent DST (which is what most people want) that requires Congressional approval. A state can switch to permanent standard time on their own.
