The draft proposal for the new Daylight Saving Time rule for Israel is:
DST will start at 02:00 a.m. on the Friday before the last Sunday of March and will end at 02:00 a.m. on the last Sunday of October.
This proposal still has to be put before the government and then the legislation must pass three readings in the Knesset. I will update the list as the legislation advances.
The proposal will be tabled at today's Cabinet Meeting and is expected to be brought before the Knesset for First Reading tomorrow. In order for the proposal to become law, it needs to pass both Second and Third readings, but the government has indicated that it will be brought before the Knesset for the final readings prior to the Knesset's summer recess so that the changes will take effect in September thus extending the end date of the 2013 Daylight Saving Time. I will update the list as the legislation advances. _____________________________________ Ephraim Silverberg, CSE System Group, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel. Phone/Fax number: +972-2-5494521
