As a NYC resident, I can assure you we follow US time :) Just for completeness, here's the link to the actual law on the NY state website: http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/LAWSSEAF.cgi?QUERYTYPE=LAWS+&QUERYDATA=$$A... § 2-106 Daylight saving time; effect thereof on public proceedings. The standard time throughout the city of New York is that of the seventy-fifth meridian of longitude west from Greenwich, except that at two o'clock ante-meridian of the last Sunday in April of each year such standard time throughout the city shall be advanced one hour, and at two o'clock ante-meridian of the last Sunday in October of each year, such standard time shall, by the retarding of one hour, be returned to the mean astronomical time of the seventy-fifth meridian of longitude west from Greenwich, and all courts, public offices and legal and official proceedings shall be regulated thereby. -Andrew On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 5:37 PM, <Paul_Koning@dell.com> wrote:

If there are in fact New York City laws that are different from US law, this has major implications for the database - unless they're simply not followed by anyone and therefore ignored.
I assume they are not followed. They certainly would have no force; US law controls.
