19 states have "no more changing the clocks" laws passed, but aren't allowed to do so without approval of the federal government?

It's pretty obvious you can just do what you want these days, consequences are trivial to non-existent, so why don't we just not change our clocks? (or change them and not change them back, whatever floats your boat)

So I had trouble finding a breakdown of those 19 states and what the specifics of those laws are. In general what you have are 19 states who want to do it. However some of those 19 explicitly call out waiting to enact the law until A, the federal government first passes a similar law and/or B, neighboring states also pass similar laws.

Basically no one wants to go first, but they're ready once everyone else is. While switching twice a year is painful, being the only one not to switch is also painful, possibly more than just switching.

As an Arizonan, I disagree with this point. I don't really experience any downsides with not switching and I think very few people would.
