Thanks for finding the clarification on this Ray.<br>
<br>
I'm with the OP Jay that this will cause long term problems. The 15 degrees is not mentioned in the document just the change from "Standard Time" to "Daylight Time" permanently (they probably don't even understand it is in 15 degree increments). This will
cause problems in systems across many sectors. The entire world works on UTC + or - on a 15 degree scale. Except now the US which will be 15 degree scale -15 degrees. I doubt Canada, Central, or South Americas are going to follow this so the United States
will always be 15 degrees off of what is considered "Standard Time" by the world.</div>

The better solution would be to remove DST all together and tell everyone in the US to start work at 07:00 and get off work at 16:00 every day.</div>

<br>
I don’t follow why cancelling DST has the effect of moving the US fifteen degrees to the east. Also, your subject line reads “permanent DST”, but from your language the bill will be permanent standard time.
<br>
<br>
I haven’t read the bill, but I’m hoping you can explain your position more clearly.
