Indiana was really never a hold out, because they were decided region by region. AZ has been the last true holdout for a long time, and we're staying that way. The state with the most sunny days knows you don't need to save daylight.

this bill has been discussed in the legislature over two dozen times in the last 30 years. time zones were decided by the Fed DOT, but states could choose to observe DST. Indiana said "NO". But now it will be in line w/ the rest of the world and end the debate of what time is it in Indiana.

In Indiana, wasn't it just the burbs around Chicago that were on CST?

Federal law says that each state must decide as a whole, not as individual regions. It does, however, allow states that border other time zones to adopt that time zone over the state's standard.

Indiana was, indeed, a holdout.

My husband despises the switch to DST and back each year. He could never realize why it had to happen. But last year it hit me that if we didn't change, we'd have sunlight streaming into our windows at about 5 a.m. I'd rather have it at 10 p.m. than 5 a.m.
