The bills to remove the time switch aren't actually to get rid of DST but to make it the new time. It will get rid of the time switch back to Standard Time (the switch upcoming this weekend) and make the current time (DST) permanent since DST is already most of the year, 8 months (Mar-Nov) vs only 4 for ST. So we wouldn't be "getting rid of Daylight Savings Time", we'd actually be getting rid of Standard Time and making DST permanent.

It's confusing because the colloquial way is just to refer to the time switch as "Daylight Savings Time", but that only applies to one particular time setting, not the switch itself.
