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.

Spring/Summer/Autumn time should be made permanent; Winter time should be abolished. Stop stealing the only unallocated hour of winter daylight we get for ourselves.

Buy Little Johnny a PT Belt and a flashlight for the three weeks a year he has to walk to school in the dark, and give him an hour after school to play outside with his friends.

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

I’ll grudgingly accept that as less awful than our current arrangement.

Those are called interstate compacts, and they tend to be specific to individual laws. I was thinking more along the lines of military alliances, so kind of a more advanced form of this type of political alliance-making

There was the Western States pact from the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_States_Pact
