Colorado State Rep. Cathy Kipp, who co-sponsored the 2022 bill, explained that the reason this has not happened yet is that states are not allowed to opt into permanent daylight time — only opt out. How are some Denver metro bars open past 2 a.m.? This is due to how the Uniform Time Act of 1966, which mandated daylight saving time nationwide, works.Two states -- Hawaii and Arizona -- have chosen to permanently reside on standard time, while 19 states have passed legislation to keep the extra daylight hour year-round.Kipp said she does not believe that Congress will pass a law allowing each state to permanently opt in, but will instead pass something to standardize daylight time nationwide....
