Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act, for the part of the state in the Pacific Time Zone, stops the one-hour change of time in the spring and fall of each year and keeps the zone at standard time year-round if CA and WA states do the same within 10 years. The Act, for the part of the state in the Pacific Time Zone, permits the one-hour change of time to remain at daylight saving time year-round if Congress au- thorizes it and if CA and WA states have daylight saving time year-round, within 10 years. The Act keeps the part of the state in the Mountain Time Zone unchanged. (Flesch Readability Score: 64.2). Maintains current time standards in Oregon unless certain conditions are met. For the part of the state located in the Pacific Time Zone, abolishes the annual one-hour change in time 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. Restores current time standards if California and Washington do not make the standard time change within 10 years. Alternatively, for the part of the state located in the Pacific Time Zone, abolishes the annual one-hour change in time and maintains the Pacific Time Zone portion of Oregon on daylight saving time for all 12 months of the calendar year, if Congress enacts a law authorizing states to elect year-round daylight saving time and if California and Washington establish daylight saving time as the standard of time year-round. Restores current time standards if Congress fails to authorize daylight saving time or if California and Washington do not make daylight saving time their year-round standard of time within 10 years. Provides that standards of time in the Mountain Time Zone portion of Oregon remain unchanged.

AI Summary

This bill addresses Oregon's standards of time, specifically focusing on changes to daylight saving time practices in the state. The bill establishes two potential scenarios for time standards: First, if California and Washington adopt standard time (without daylight saving time changes), Oregon will also move to standard time year-round for the Pacific Time Zone portion of the state. Second, if Congress authorizes year-round daylight saving time and California and Washington adopt it, Oregon's Pacific Time Zone will also remain on daylight saving time year-round. The Mountain Time Zone portion of Oregon remains unchanged, continuing to observe seasonal time changes. The bill includes a sunset provision that requires a review of these time standards by December 31, 2035, with specific sections of the law to be repealed based on which time scenario is in effect. No government agency or political subdivision will be allowed to use any time standard other than the one specified in the bill. The legislation aims to create consistency in time standards across the Pacific Northwest region and provides flexibility pending federal authorization and neighboring states' actions.
