AI Summary
This bill proposes to establish permanent daylight saving time in the state of Washington throughout the calendar year. It amends existing laws to make daylight saving time the standard time for the state, contingent on the United States Congress authorizing states to observe daylight saving time year-round. The bill also directs the state to review the potential impact of changing to the mountain standard time zone if year-round daylight saving time is not authorized by Congress. Additionally, the bill repeals the current law that requires the observance of standard time and biannual clock changes between standard time and daylight saving time.
