After the permanent DST will Arizona still be on standard time?

1. Just pick the time you like best and stick to it. Individual freedom, america, and let chaos ring!

6. Down with the false construct of time !! Freedom from the timekeepers and clockwatchers !!!

4. We are on daylight time, which is NOT the "regular" time. -nt

5. DST now

3. I think so

Since they aren’t on it anyway, making it permanent won’t apply to them. I could be wrong. The whole opt out thing will be interesting as the experiment unfolds.

8. seems to me if DST is permanent it will be Standard Time.

9. When the sun is directly overhead, will the clock say noon or 1pm?

[Srkdqltr]

10. Depends on where the clock is and if it talks?

The sun is always overhead ... someplace. Geezzzzzzz make this difficult.

11. Obtuse on parade.

12. You are very right. Im glad you see my point.

[Ptah]

15. You have no point unless it is the top of your skull.

16. but not at 12:00 anywhere under this new regime

Sundial manufacturers will be poised to make a fortune if they get out ahead of this with new models that have 1:00 in the noon position

21. I'm going to start a realignment service for existing sundials.

[Blues Heron]

22. It's going to be huge!

Or for half the price of a realignment, these stick on Roman numerals can be yours for one low low price!

13. According to the Lake Powell News - No changes for AZ.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bill known as the Sunshine Protection Act. If the Bill also passes in the House of Representatives and is signed by President Biden, it would make daylight savings time permanent starting in 2023. According to the offices of Arizona’s U.S. Senators, this bill will essentially not effect Arizona, which has a permanent time zone. Since the Pacific coast states move to Mountain Standard Time during daylight savings time, Arizona would always be aligned with those states instead of being an hour ahead during the winter months. The bill specifically states that Arizona and Hawaii, the only other state that has a permanent time zone, would be allowed to remain on their current standard time. Arizona has had a permanent time zone since 1967.

14. Thanks for that answer.

[Blues Heron]

17. i wouldnt be surprised if other states join arizona and opt for standard time

for all or part of the year. Does anybody know if opting out is possible?

[moose65]

18. I don't think it's possible

Arizona and Hawaii are exempted from this, since they are never on Daylight Saving Time anyway.

Most of us are already on DST for nearly 8 months. DST is more "Standard" than Standard is.

[Blues Heron]

20. no doubt, we will see how people like it this time around

last time it lasted for about 9 months before people were sick of busting loose in winter at the crack of dawn just so people could avoid losing an hour of sleep each spring (nobody ever complains about fall back obviously)

[LogicFirst]

19. I hope so.

23. Sunshine protection act.

Some folks think Idiocracy was a joke!
