How Would the Sunshine Protection Act Change Your Shacharis?

Halachic note: Earliest Talis/Tefillin (misheyakir) is calculated as the sun 10.2° below the horizon (≈50–60 min before netz in winter, varying by latitude). Many communities use 36, 45, 50, or 60 fixed minutes instead — confirm your community's standard with your rav or posek. Netz is astronomical sea-level sunrise; visible sunrise may vary with local horizon and elevation. Candle lighting is shown at the common 18 minutes before shkiah (sunset) — some communities light earlier (e.g., 20, 30, or 40 minutes); adjust per your minhag. Legal note: The Sunshine Protection Act (H.R. 139) passed the House in July 2026 and is pending in the Senate — the amber columns are a projection, not current law. Arizona (outside the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii do not observe DST and would be unaffected. Time zones are estimated from state + coordinates; a few split-zone border towns may need manual verification. ZIP/city coordinates from the public-domain free_zipcode_data set.
