Ian Kluft ✅🖥️📡<p>"Oregon Senate passes bill for permanent standard time... or possibly permanent daylight saving time" by KGW News (NBC Portland) - After <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/SB1038" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SB1038</span></a> passage in the <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/Oregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oregon</span></a> 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 &amp; WA <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/DitchTheSwitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DitchTheSwitch</span></a> too within 10 years. <a href="https://www.kgw.com/article/news/politics/oregon-senate-passes-bill-end-daylight-saving-time-switch/283-1e33b479-450f-4381-9dec-700ac409d308" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">kgw.com/article/news/politics/</span><span class="invisible">oregon-senate-passes-bill-end-daylight-saving-time-switch/283-1e33b479-450f-4381-9dec-700ac409d308</span></a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/PNW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PNW</span></a></p>
Ian Kluft ✅🖥️📡<p>I watched as <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/Oregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oregon</span></a> SB566 <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/PermanentStandardTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PermanentStandardTime</span></a> bill apparently died. I didn't realize it was replaced by <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/SB1038" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SB1038</span></a> until that passed the Senate today. On to the House.</p><p>The new bill is weird. It'll go along with permanent Standard or Daylight time as long as both CA &amp; WA adopt same in 10 years. Permanent DST would require an act of Congress first, since states aren't allowed to choose it.

Save Standard Time<p>Texas: New: SB 516 seeks illegal, unsafe, permanent Daylight Saving Time. Filed by Senator Mayes Middleton (R-Galveston), who previously sponsored bills seeking pDST and bills seeking legal, safe, permanent Standard Time. Permanent DST would put TX sunrise past 8am 3–5 months, later even then 9am! When last tried, it cost lives and business, and Texans rejected it. Please urge him and your own state legislators to <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DitchTheSwitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DitchTheSwitch</span></a> the quick, safe, and lasting way, with permanent Standard Time, not permanent DST! <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DitchDST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DitchDST</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TXLeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TXLeg</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MAHA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAHA</span></a></p>
