A bill has also been introduced in Maryland; links to text and status
below. Past efforts have died in committee in Maryland.
An obnoxious (from a time zone maintenance point of view): "If the
Department of Legislative Services receives notice of the change to 15
U.S.C. § 260a on or before December 31, 2030, Section 1 of this Act shall
take effect on the second Sunday in March or the first Sunday in November
after the change to 15 U.S.C. § 260a becomes effective, whichever occurs
first." So if, for example, notice is received on November 1, cancellation
of the return to DST will happen within at most two weeks notice.
I'll be writing to my representatives and trying to submit written
testimony. (In the past, Maryland has provided a one-day window for written
testimony; I get to be careful about the time. Providentially, I am.-)
