Congressional leaders of both parties have signed off on a proposal, being considered in Washington this week, to start Daylight Saving Time on the first Sunday in March and end on the last Sunday of November. They say it would save energy.
If the president signs the bill, the new law would take effect immediately, extending Daylight Saving Time by one month this fall. Currently, Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April and ends at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday of October.
I've said it in the past -
Server Time Zones - and I will say it again, use GMT/UTC for your timezone. How many people do you think are going to get royaly burned by this one when it happens. I would bet money that there will be at least one very large, very public incident.

Did the president sign the bill? If not, why. What does "Congressional leaders of both parties have signed off on a proposal...." mean?
