Bill > SB1197

This bill proposes to repeal California's current daylight saving time system, which involves changing clocks twice a year as established by Proposition 7, an initiative approved by voters in 2018. Instead, the bill would require the state and all its political subdivisions to observe permanent standard time year-round, effectively exempting California from federal laws that mandate the advancement of time for daylight saving. However, the bill includes a provision that if the federal government were to adopt year-long daylight saving time, California would then conform to that federal standard. The bill also includes legislative findings and declarations supporting the move to permanent standard time, citing disruptions to health, safety, and education caused by clock changes and noting recommendations from various health and sleep organizations.
