The final reason, according to the Transportation Department, is that DST reduces crime since most people would be"conducting their offers during the daylight" after they leave work or school instead of in the dark of night, when most crime is committed. However, nine states have passed legislation since 2018 that makes DST permanent. But those states need approval from the federal government before their bills can go into effect, since the time change is a federal mandate. While states can elect not to participate in DST, they cannot enact laws forgo the 'fall back' by one hour to standard time in November without Congress changing the Uniform Time Act of 1996.
Maryland is the latest state to propose a change to permanent DST. Republican State Senator Justin Ready spoke before the Maryland Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee and explained that"making the change would be beneficial to public safety and economic activity—and that 'folks like' having the extra hour of daylight in the evening,"Ready said that passing his bill would be"a signal to the federal government" to allow states to make these changes.
