Theological note: This bill concerns ordinary civil timekeeping, a matter of prudence and common welfare rather than a direct moral question. Relevant considerations include neighbor-love in weighing effects on work, family routines, child safety, and health, and the stewardship of ordered daily life. Scripture does not settle the specific choice between clock schedules, so this is issue relevance only, not a candidate judgment.
