AI Summary
This bill proposes to observe daylight saving time year-round in Washington state, if the U.S. Congress amends federal law to authorize states to do so. The bill adds new sections to Chapter 1.20 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) to establish Pacific daylight time as the permanent time for the state and its political subdivisions. The bill also amends RCW 35A.21.190 to remove references to the existing daylight saving time provisions and repeals the current statutes related to daylight saving time. The bill's effective date is contingent on the federal government authorizing year-round daylight saving time, and the governor is required to provide written notice of the effective date to relevant parties.
