Reply to comment by HeyaShinyObject in Greenland turns clocks forward for last,should Massachusetts/eastern US do the same by Hoosac_Love

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.
