The bill abolishes the annual one-hour change from standard time to Daylight Saving Time and maintains the Pacific Time Zone portion of Oregon on standard time for all 12 months of the calendar year, if California and Washington make the same change within the next 10 years.
If both California and Washington don’t end Daylight Saving Time by March 2034, the Oregon bill will be repealed.
