[tz] News: Alaska modifies SB 6, holds working session

[Ray at the Time Zone Report]

Just when I thought all DST bills for the 2015 US state legislatures were
way past their shelf life. Alaska is revising its SB 6 and holding a working
session this morning pm the bill.

 

Details from the AK legislature web site here:
http://www.legis.state.ak.us/basis/get_complete_bill.asp?session=29
<http://www.legis.state.ak.us/basis/get_complete_bill.asp?session=29&bill=SB
6> &bill=SB6

 

There appear to be two provisions of SB 6:

 

1.       Exempt the entire state from DST, regardless of time zone
boundaries

2.       Petition the US Department of Transportation to move all of Alaska
into the Pacific time zone.

 

The effective date listed is January 1, 2017.  Plenty of time - if this goes
through.
