If this bill becomes law Alaska will be the only state in the union which will not allow itself to end the use of Daylight Saving Time without a specific federal intervention.  The new version of SB6 holds 700,000 Alaskans hostage to the demands of a few business people and the two legislators (Bob Lynn and Wes Keller who conspired with them to hatch this stupid idea.  At the last minute Bob Lynn cancelled all public testimony  and the bill was passed out of his committee after he had held the bill for one year.
The entire state of Alaska including the Aleutian Islands (an area that spans the entire lower 48 states) must be placed into the Pacific Time Zone before this bill will allow us to stop the twice yearly clock changing. 
Since only the Federal Government can change time zones these two (who so often decry "federal overreach") are pleading with the Federal Government to come to Alaska (at great expense) to hold the necessary hearings across Alaska to implement this stupidity.
