The end of daylight saving time is on Sunday, November 4, but could it be the last one in California?
On Tuesday voters in the state will be deciding the fate of Prop. 7, the advisory measure that, if passed, encourages the legislature to consider instituting year-round Daylight Saving Time. The country has had the March-November Daylight Saving time since World War II, and it was voter-approved in California in 1949.
It would change current law by requiring a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to change the period of Daylight Saving Time, to make it year round, or to stay on standard time. However, even if two-thirds of the legislature passes such a bill, the change to year-round Daylight Saving Time would still have to approved by a vote of Congress and a Presidential signature.
No matter what the future holds, don't forget to move your clocks back Sunday morning at 2:00 a.m.
