AI Summary

  • Amends Section 6808 of the Government Code to set California's standard time to year-round daylight saving time once federal law authorizes states to do so.

  • Year-round daylight saving time would begin at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of March following federal authorization, with the time change applying continuously without reverting in November.

  • Maintains Legislature's ability to amend daylight saving time dates and times by two-thirds vote, consistent with federal law.
