Time Zone Report

Providing information on US time zones, including legislation to change time zones. Why? Because DST transitions kill people. See our web site for details.

Sen Marco Rubio: DST Through November 2021? Read about S.4582, with links to the text of the bill. https://t.co/PfwLgdvt72

Well, it's Marco Rubio... but I was close.

Now THAT's interesting: Sen Mark Rubio (R-FL) introduced a bill entitled "A bill to extend, temporarily, daylight saving time, and for other purposes". The text of the bill hasn't been published yet.

Five years after starting Time Zone Report and joining Twitter, and nothing has changed in the US time zone / daylight saving time picture. #MyTwitterAnniversary

@scodtt Scott, education and awareness are good – but they don’t substitute for *enacted legislation*. My point is that we are still a long way from changing east coast states to Atlantic time zones and allowing other states to choose Year Round DST as an option.

As Expected, No Movement -- Literally nothing has happened in the US Congress relating to Year-Round DST since March/.April of this year. Almost 6months later, thought I should chime in... https://t.co/Nnc3dGr75A

What does Year-Round Daylight Saving Time look like on paper? See what HR 1556, S 670, and HR 1601 would do to 15 USC 260, the definitions of "standard time" and "daylight saving time".

Read my interpretation of what HR 1556 would do to 15 USC 260. What would Year-Round DST look like, from the perspective of the updated United States Code?

@m103riebel It’s hard to say… I don’t quite understand what we’d call ourselves. There’s the provision for us to NOT go to the equivalent of DST… just not sure of the nomenclature.

[Time Zone Report @TimeZoneReport]

The text of HR 1556 is out! Hear my first impression...

Read the US statute that defines standard time and daylight saving time!
States can either: (a) Daylight Saving Time from March to November, or (b) opt out of Daylight Saving Time altogether -- like Arizona and Hawaii have done.
