Oregon's governor plans to sign a bill that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent there as part of an effort among several West Coast states
A proposal approved by the state legislature earlier this week would abolish the one-hour time change from standard time to Daylight Saving Time for the state, except in the areas of Oregon that are within the Mountain Time Zone. The bill now heads to Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, who plans to sign it, according to her spokeswoman, Kate Kondayen.Even with Brown's approval, however, the proposal would still need to clear several other hurdles before it could take effect.
Jay Inslee signed into law a bill that allows the state to observe Daylight Saving Time year-round, and in California, voters approved a ballot measure last year that allows the state's legislature to make Daylight Saving Time permanent by a two-thirds vote. A bill is currently making its way through the legislature.
