Bill Summary

An act to add Section 6808 to the Government Code, and to repeal Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the Daylight Saving Time Act, an initiative measure approved at the November 8, 1949, special election, relating to daylight saving time.

AI Summary

This bill would repeal the existing Daylight Saving Time Act in California and establish new provisions for the state's standard time and daylight saving time period. It would require the state's standard time to be that of the Pacific time zone, with daylight saving time beginning at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of March and ending at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of November each year. The bill would authorize the California Legislature to amend these provisions by a two-thirds vote to change the daylight saving time dates and to provide for year-round daylight saving time if authorized by federal law. The bill would also encourage the Legislature to consider the potential impacts on border communities if year-round daylight saving time is adopted. Finally, the bill would require voter approval before it can take effect.
