So to clarify/muddy the situation further... Time zones do not fall purely on the 15 degree lines on a globe. As such, the location of the sun overhead is locality specific within a timezone. Don’t let the enemy of done win here. ;)

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. 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.

Also, your subject line reads “permanent DST”, but from your language the bill will be permanent standard time. I haven’t read the bill, but I’m hoping you can explain your position more clearly. -mel via cellOn Mar 15, 2022, at 3:13 PM, Jay R.

My opinion of this ought to be obvious from my rhetoric. Hopefully, it will fail, because it's likely to be the end of rational time worldwide, and even if you do log in UTC, it will still make your life difficult. I'm poleaxed; I can't even decide which grounds to scream about this on... Hopefully, the House or the White House will be more coherent in their decision on this engineering construct.
