@MidnightDragon I thought the legislation was to make Daylight Savings an all-year thing? I could be wrong.
@OhDearDevilRun Schools have traditionally started early in America (9 AM or earlier) so that school bus rides can beat morning rush hour traffic. Any attempt to change that gets the tired old argument that it will "make kids dumber". I don't see how it would "make kids dumber" (and I was born in 1980 and have seen the schools get worse for other reasons) but my opinion isn't popular at all.
Daylight Savings Time started to help agriculture in the early 1900s in America (read: increase productivity) but eventually became an energy conservation thing. And since energy conservation is highly subjected to politics in America (since the 60s and 70s, let's not just blame modern-day politicians for this one) the debate about Daylight Savings Time will never end.

@Icebrand1270 It still would end the time change since it would lock in the spring forward permanently. So close enough.
