The states alone cannot, because the time zones are set by Federal regulation. See https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=6a1a124065df269aff....

Right, just like the states alone cannot make Schedule I substances legal for consumption and sale.

Except, of course, that half the country does it[1].

We are living in a strange country.

That article goes into a long history of the interplay between state and federal authority in terms of time zones - most of it Indiana acting within the bounds set by congress or petitioning congress to give them exemptions.
