1.1. What the bill says

H.R. 6: Energy Policy Act of 2005, which recently passed the US House of Representatives, contains an ‘energy saving’ provision regarding Daylight Savings Time (DST). It calls for a change in start and end dates of DST observed in the United States, with the new DST period stretching from March to November. This change would take effect in March 2006 if the House language prevails over Senate language, which does not contain the extension.
