New bills to end Daylight Saving Time time switch in California differ from previous efforts in one key way
(FOX40.com) — At least two lawmakers in the California State Legislature are making another effort to end the annual Daylight Saving Time switch 6 years after voters in the state approved Proposition 7, granting their ability to do so.
Assembly Member Tri Ta and Senator Roger Niello have introduced identical bills, Assembly Bill 1776 and Senate Bill 1413, in their respective chambers to move the state permanently to Standard Time.
Language included in Proposition 7 specified that the legislature could only alter the Daylight Saving Time period with a two-thirds vote.
Since voters approved Proposition 7 in 2018 by a margin of 60% to 40%, two other efforts have been made to end the time switch in the Golden State.
2018’s AB 7 passed the Assembly 72-0 with 8 votes unrecorded but was pulled before it came to a vote in the Senate. 2022’s AB 2868 failed 27-8 in the Assembly with 43 No Votes Recorded.
Those bills differ from this latest attempt in one key way. They attempted to enact permanent Daylight Savings Time, which is not permitted under federal law. The bills specified that they would not take effect until U.S. Congress acts.
These new bills instead move the state to Standard Time permanently, which is already allowed.
