Please provide a link documenting this claim.

I have been reviewing the actions listed on congress.gov, and this is not
an action listed as having taken place.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/623/all-actions?overview=closed#tabs

The last action shown for this bill was taken on March 9th, 2021, more than
a year ago.

Thanks!

Matt

In a unanimous vote today, the US Senate approved a bill which would

1) Cancel DST permanently, and
2) Move every square inch of US territory 15 degrees to the east.

My opinion of this ought to be obvious from my rhetoric.  Hopefully, it
will
fail, because it's likely to be the end of rational time worldwide, and
even
if you do log in UTC, it will still make your life difficult.

I'm poleaxed; I can't even decide which grounds to scream about this on...

Hopefully, the House or the White House will be more coherent in their
decision on this engineering construct.
