>Isn't that just changing the time zone and abolishing daylight savings?
Yes but the clocks will now say EDT instead of EST (in the Eastern time zone for example). We will forever know that we have saved the daylight.
- cmurf 5y agoI don't think so... Original text for the zones: http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:15%20section:261%20edition:prelim) http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:15%20section:2... Bill amending that law: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/69/text https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/69/t... It's redefining the offsets from UTC for the zones, for standard time. And also repeals all of 15 USC 260a http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:15%20section:260a%20edition:prelim) http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:15%20section:2... a.k.a. Section 3 of the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Ergo, the 'D' in all the time zones goes away.
- exegete 5y agoOh wow it really is just redefining standard time as DST
