There were something like 13 states petitioning for it. When daylight savings was implemented, the way it read, states could decide to NOT go on it. There was nothing saying they could choose to NOT go OFF it. States had to petition one of the federal departments to stay on it. Approval came through late spring/early summer of this year, taking effect 2023. Apparently it had been tried in the past and the idea canceled due to extra accidents as people went to work in the dark (?). No idea where the trials were done. Kids go to the bus in the dark anyway in winter, people go to work in the dark or work based upon daylight not a clock (farm/ranch) around here anyway. I guess we're going to test it out again.

"Year-round daylight saving time (DST), signed into law by President Richard Nixon in January 1974, sought to maximize evening sunlight and, in doing so, help mitigate an ongoing national gas crisis. But while the experiment initially proved popular, with 79 percent of Americans expressing support for the change in December 1973, approval quickly plummeted, dropping to 42 percent by February 1974, reported the New York Times’ Anthony Ripley in October of that year."
