Trump likes it, and anything that Trump wants MUST be opposed. If anybody else was in the white house, from either party, would all these senators still be opposing the bill? I doubt it.

This is just one of many I've see suggesting we also change who is in which time zone to accommodate northern states issues with sunrise in the winter.

I may have mentioned this in an earlier discussion about DST, but...

I've put a few industrial controllers in place whose firmware was already programmed for DST rules for the next 20 years or so. The ones I installed have probably all been decommissioned by now, but they're a widely used product. A change in DST rules will likely keep some engineers and programmers busy for a good while, sorting out problems in time/date-based machines and systems already in service.

I'm sure the airline and railroad companies are very interested in this debate, too.

quote:

Airlines are warning that changes to existing practices around Daylight Saving Time (DST) would have a major impact on the industry and that changes would need to be implemented over time to account for challenges it would create for scheduling.

Airlines for America (A4A), a trade group that represents leading air carriers in the U.S., released a statement this week which warned that changes to DST "would have considerable implications for aviation, including passenger disruption, crew and aircraft positioning, and domestic and international connectivity issues."

"Airlines operate expansive interconnected domestic and global networks that are reliant on stability and predictability. Any changes would need an implementation timeline that reflects these global complications," the group said.

The warning came as the House on Tuesday advanced the Sunshine Protection Act, which would allow states to voluntarily observe DST throughout the year and end the twice-annual clock changes, on a bipartisan 308-117 vote that sent the legislation to the Senate.
