(NEXSTAR) — We’re just weeks from changing the clocks back an hour as daylight saving time comes to an end. If lawmakers in several states had their way, this would be the last time their constituents observe the biannual practice.

In nearly every state over the last year, lawmakers have considered legislation to lock the clocks on permanent daylight or permanent standard time.

Two states, Arizona (at least most of it) and Hawaii, already observe permanent standard time. Ten other states have enacted legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent, should Congress approve such a move.

In roughly half of the remaining states, efforts have focused on permanent standard time. The map below shows an overview of the legislative actions states have taken recently regarding the seasonal time change.

Here’s a deeper look at where efforts to end daylight saving time clock changes stand in each state:

Congress

Two bills would put the U.S. on year-round daylight saving time. Two others would allow states to decide if they want to observe permanent daylight saving time. All four were referred to committee, and one requires a revote.

Alabama

No active legislation this year, but a law to put Alabama on permanent daylight saving time with Congress’s permission was enacted in 2021.

Alaska

Four bills have been introduced, all focused on permanent daylight saving time. None have passed.

Arizona

Arizona already observes permanent standard time.

Arkansas

A bill that would have made standard time permanent died in committee.

California

A bill that would put the state on permanent standard time remains in committee. Voters gave the legislature permission to lock the clocks in 2018, but the state has failed to do so. A Senate resolution that acknowledges the health benefits of year-round permanent standard time passed in March.

Colorado

Lawmakers have not introduced related legislation in Colorado this year, but in 2022, the state enacted a law to allow permanent daylight saving time with Congress’s permission.

Connecticut

A bill to put Connecticut on permanent daylight saving time, with federal approval, if Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York enact such legislation, was referred to committee.

Delaware

In 2019, the state enacted a law to observe permanent daylight saving time with federal permission if Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania do the same.

District of Columbia

After not considering related measures in recent years, the District of Columbia’s Board of Elections recently approved the text of a measure that would exempt the district from observing daylight saving time.

Florida

While its Congressmen have struggled to pass their permanent daylight saving time bills, Florida became the first state to enact such legislation in 2018. Nonetheless, the move requires federal authorization.

Georgia

Georgia passed a bill in 2021 to adhere to permanent daylight saving time if given the chance.

Hawaii

Like Arizona, it’s no surprise that there is no proposed legislation this year.

Idaho

A bill to put Idaho on permanent standard time, if Washington and Oregon did the same, was introduced earlier this........
