So supposedly a majority of people don't want to change back and forth every year, but there is a split where one group wants to stick with DST year round and the other group wants to stick with Standard Time year round.

What advantage does "permanent DST" offer a region over simply moving to Standard Time of one zone further east, which would not require Congress to act? Conversely, if "permanent DST" is enacted by Congress, a state adversely affected should continue to be allowed to move one zone further west. State (and regional) freedom of choice should remain. In any case, people will, gradually, adjust their schedule of activity to match the sun. -- gil
