A bill has also been introduced in Maryland; links to text and status below. Past efforts have died in committee in Maryland.

An obnoxious (from a time zone maintenance point of view): "If the Department of Legislative Services receives notice of the change to 15 U.S.C. § 260a on or before December 31, 2030, Section 1 of this Act shall take effect on the second Sunday in March or the first Sunday in November after the change to 15 U.S.C. § 260a becomes effective, whichever occurs first." So if, for example, notice is received on November 1, cancellation of the return to DST will happen within at most two weeks notice.

I'll be writing to my representatives and trying to submit written testimony. (In the past, Maryland has provided a one-day window for written testimony; I get to be careful about the time. Providentially, I am.-)

HB 1259 passed the North Dakota House last week. No idea on whether it will pass the ND Senate or be signed into law.

The tricky thing about this bill is that it does not have an implementation time frame. Theoretically if it moves through in the next week or two, we could be looking at a repeat of the Lebanon 2023 fiasco. I hope if they are going to pass it, they take their time.
