A 5611 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to observing Atlantic time

This bill directs the New York State Secretary of State to apply to the federal government for permission to switch the state from Eastern Time to Atlantic Time. The legislation also amends state laws to update the official time zone and daylight saving time schedules, which would shift the state's standard time one hour earlier. However, the bill includes a condition that the federal application will only take effect if neighboring states Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania pass matching legislation to adopt Atlantic Time. If those states do not enact similar laws, this bill will not change New York's time zone.
