If a state passes a law making DST permanent, they will be dragged into court so fast it would be a new record. The current law allows states to opt out of DST, but not to make it permanent. If the feds pass the pending new law to allow it, things will get messy real quick.

They don't have to pass a law, just make a statement that they're not going to play this silly little game anymore...

State governments can't set policy simply by making statements. If Ohio decided they want permanent DST, they'd need the legislature to pass a law to that effect.

What if they don't pass a law, but state that all government entities will longer be on DST?

There already is a law in place; . They'd have to pass a new one or amend that one.

Unless I misunderstood your question.
