It has been bubbling under for some years-there are about I think it's 10 or 11 states which have already passed state 
laws changing it, pending that the federal law blocking those be dropped-that's the Uniform Time Act of 1966 if I have 
the title correct.

And to reply to somebody else his comment, the exceptions to the 15 degree rule which already exists already caused 
problems, so there isn't any reason to believe that bumping this down to the state and local level won't make things 
even more confusing. 

I wonder how big the buffers in the Timezone Library are; is ADO on this list?

Folks for most systems, this is a change to a single file. Not a really hard thing to accomplish

Well...

1 - I'm surprised anybody is running local timezones on their systems at all

2 - I like how american politics is capable of creating new problems; where
   did this bill come from in the first place? And who's lobbying?
