"Oregon Senate passes bill for permanent standard time... or possibly permanent daylight saving time" by KGW News (NBC Portland) - After #SB1038 passage in the #Oregon Senate, it will be up for a vote in the House. If passed by House and signed by governor, Oregon would go along if both CA & WA #DitchTheSwitch too within 10 years. https://www.kgw.com/article/news/politics/oregon-senate-passes-bill-end-daylight-saving-time-switch/283-1e33b479-450f-4381-9dec-700ac409d308 #PNW

I watched as #Oregon SB566 #PermanentStandardTime bill apparently died. I didn't realize it was replaced by #SB1038 until that passed the Senate today. On to the House.

The new bill is weird. It'll go along with permanent Standard or Daylight time as long as both CA & WA adopt same in 10 years. Permanent DST would require an act of Congress first, since states aren't allowed to choose it. Excludes Mountain Time portion of Oregon in Malheur County. https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2025R1/Measures/Overview/SB1038 #DitchTheSwitch #PNW

Tell your legislators to restore permanent Standard Time. It’s the healthiest, safest, fairest, and most lasting way to #DitchTheSwitch! Click here: https://www.votervoice.net/ditchDST/Campaigns/118165/Respond

Tell your Congress members that permanent DST (“Sunshine Protection”) has repeatedly failed—permanent Standard Time instead is the healthy, safe, and lasting way to #DitchTheSwitch. https://www.votervoice.net/ditchDST/Campaigns/111094/Respond

Permanent Standard Time—not permanent DST, not “Sunshine Protection”—is the safest way to end clock change. #DitchTheSwitch https://ditchdst.com/

California State Senate passed #SB1413 #PermanentStandardTime bill after it was amended down to a study due 2027, not repeal of DST. Slightly better than nothing. In the western states this year, Oregon got the farthest with Senate passing #DitchTheSwitch #DitchDST bill #SB1548.

Unfortunately, California State Senate amended #SB1413 #PermanentStandardTime bill to only a report, and removed actual repeal of DST. Unless CA Assembly unexpectedly revives AB1776, this ends any hope for #DitchTheSwitch #DitchDST in the western states that could begin 2025.

California State Senate advanced #SB1413 #PermanentStandardTime bill to an upcoming floor vote. It needs a 2/3 vote to pass because an amendment added a budgetary cost, requiring a report be written. 2/3 may be steep uphill. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB1413 #DitchTheSwitch #DitchDST
