Since each country determines its own time zone(s) and if/when/where it will observe Daylight Saving Time/ Summer Time, each country has its own laws on the subject, even when neighboring countries synchonize their DST schedules.

How do you vote against daylight savings Time?
For every place on Earth that's on land, all of the rules regarding its time zone(s), including adjustments for Daylight Saving Time if any, are decided by the government that has jurisdiction over the place, so communication with that government is your best bet.In the United States, the federal Department of Transportation has control over time zone borders. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 as amended in 1986 and 2005 requires that every U.S. state that observes Daylight Saving Time must begin and end it on the dates and at the times specified in the Act. However, each state has the right to opt out of Daylight Saving Time observance. Utah is currently considering opting out, and the subject has come up in the legislatures of Idaho and Alaska within the past few years. U.S. residents who are against Daylight Saving Time are far more likely to get a positive response by petitioning their state legislature instead of the federal legislature.

I don't know what Santa's rules are for Antarctica. It will be 24 hours of daylight in Antarctica now and maybe nobody will be asleep.
Why did Daylight Saving Time end earlier other years?
To end daylight saving time (and, by the way, it's "daylight saving" without the second "s") nationwide, we'd need an act of Congress. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 established rules for time zones across the United States and a uniform nationwide daylight saving time period, and per that act, states can opt out of daylight saving, but they can't "spring forward" permanently without Congress.In 2019, 36 states have proposals for choosing either standard time or daylight saving time and ending the twice-yearly clock confusion. A Florida bill to move to permanent daylight saving time passed in 2018, but it still needs approval from Congress. Although these bills do have widespread, bipartisan support, opponents claim that ending the practice would create confusion and hurt businesses, particularly if the changes are only applied at the state level.So, why do we change our clocks twice a year in the first place—and does daylight saving time really save anything?How Daylight Saving Time StartedIt certainly did when it was introduced in the early 20th century. Germany was the first country to establish daylight saving time on April 30, 1916. The move was intended to conserve electricity during World War I, and weeks after the Germans enacted it, the United Kingdom did the same. The logic: People could add an hour of sunlight to their workdays by adjusting their schedules. At a time when electricity was relatively expensive, that was a big deal.The concept spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere. On March 31, 1918, the United States implemented daylight saving time as a wartime measure. Contrary to popular belief, farmers didn’t benefit, and in fact, farmers led some of the first (unsuccessful) efforts to repeal the practice. Congress passed a repeal bill in 1919, and after that, states were left to decide for themselves whether or not they wanted to observe daylight saving.Except for a brief return to national daylight saving time during World War II, states implemented daylight saving in different ways, falling back and springing forward on different dates (or not at all). That caused tremendous confusion and plenty of lost productivity, so Congress passed the Uniform Time Act. Today, 48 states observe daylight saving; Hawaii and Arizona are the outliers.Arguments Against Changing the ClockIn recent years, some policymakers and activists have questioned whether daylight saving makes sense in a modern world. Sure, we might gain an hour of sunlight, but is that worth the confusion that inevitably results from twice-annual time changes?"We know a lot more than we did over 50 years ago, when it became sort of the uniform standard over the United States," Oregon state representative Julie Fahey, who regularly sponsors a bill that would enact year-round daylight saving in the state, told National Geographic. "The time to talk about it is now."Some of the arguments for abolishing twice-annual time changes include:It's unhealthy. A study presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 68th Annual Meeting in 2016 found that daylight saving transitions "may be tied to an increased risk of ischemic stroke." The theory: Time changes disrupt our circadian rhythms, resulting in as much of an 8 percent increase in the overall rate of strokes.It hurts productivity. By one estimate, sleep deprivation costs the U.S. economy about $411 billion per year. Time changes disrupt sleep schedules, particularly when "springing forward" and losing an hour.It might actually reduce energy efficiency. A 2008 study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that in Indiana, residential electricity demands actually increased when the state enacted daylight saving time.However, proponents of DST note that it reduces pedestrian fatalities during dawn and dusk hours. The practice is also beneficial for some industries; in 1986, representatives of the grill and charcoal industries claimed that extending daylight saving time from six to seven months would provide them with an additional $200 million in sales.In any case, the tide seems to be turning against DST (albeit very, very slowly). Scott Yates, an entrepreneur and anti-time-change activist, runs the website #LockTheClock to advocate for an end to changing the clocks twice a year."The good news is that compared to when I started working on this, I can see the momentum changing in the press inquiries I'm getting, the legislative interest, the visitors to this site, and more," he wrote. "So, I know you won't like changing the clock again this fall, even though this is the one where you get an extra hour of sleep. But you can get that sleep with a bit of comfort that the world of clock changing is slowly drifting away."

What are the rules established controlling the debate on the bill that is under consideration?
The rules governing the House of Representatives make it extremely difficult for representatives to influence legislation on the House floor. The size of the House prohibits lengthy debate and a prolonged amendment process. In order to complete its work on legislation, the House Rules Committee imposes strict rules on floor debates and amendments. These formal rules govern when and how certain types of legislation may be brought to the floor and what types of amendments may be added. For instance, an amendment in the House must be related to the issue under discussion at that time. In the Senate, on the other hand, lengthy debate is normal. The purpose of such debate is to explore an issue's aspects thoroughly before deciding on a course of action.
