Reply to comment by swatlord in Greenland turns clocks forward for last,should Massachusetts/eastern US do the same by Hoosac_Love
The company I must recently worked at would turn a zero day around essentially overnight as well. But we didn't like it, because something else got pushed aside for it. This will be somewhat more than a typical zero day because it will affect every class of device, whereas most zero days only affect certain classes or versions of devices. The original point was that you don't want to turn something like this into a last minute emergency by passing legislation that doesn't allow industry time to deal with it.

Yep, and my rebuttal was that if it passed now (or even in the next few months) i believe orgs would have plenty of time to implement the change before the next clock change in the fall.

Realistically, it won't pass for months. My bet is it will take effect next year, if at all.
Interestingly, CT tried to pass a bill last year, but broadcasters opposed it and it never got passed. Apparently Congress has to approve the change as well.
CT 's bill would have been contingent on MA, NY, and RI also adopting AST.

Oh yeah, no argument there. While we have the technology to implement something like this pretty quickly, the legislature does not move as fast.
