Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill repeals Section 11 of the Time Determination Law (1992) and sets that the switch to summer time will take place on the Friday before the last Sunday in March. In addition, it repeals Section 3 of the law and amends the definition of coordinated time (UTC) as the international basis for setting the time in Israel. The explanatory notes state that canceling winter time is intended to create overlap between the hours of human activity and daylight hours, in line with practice in Europe and a broad public that supports ending clock changes.
