Questions.

Would Hawaii have to change its clocks?

No. H.R. 139 lets a state that has already opted out of daylight saving time keep its current clock or take the advanced one. Hawaii would choose.

What time would the sun rise in Honolulu on the advanced clock?

As late as 8:12 AM, on January 16. Today the latest is 7:12 AM.

Figures are for calendar 2027 unless a heading says otherwise, worked out with NOAA's solar equations and the IANA time zone database (version 2026e) at each place's coordinates from GeoNames. Sunrise and sunset put the sun's center 0.833° below a flat horizon, so hills move a real place by minutes. Download the figures.
