California, Oregon, and Washington kinda do already. All three states often tie legislation to the other two states also passing it. Like locking daylight savings in place if Washington hadn't dropped the ball.

dropped the ball

Saved the ball you mean. Daylight-saving time is a curse which should be abolished not set in stone.

At this point I’m down for either daylight time or standard time as long as we stop changing back and forth!
