The bill could switch Oregon to either permanent standard time or permanent daylight saving time, depending on what the federal government and neighboring states do.
The Oregon Senate has passed a bill, SB 1548, with a unanimous vote of 26-0, aiming to end the practice of changing clocks for Daylight Saving Time. This legislation would keep Oregon on standard time year-round, provided that both Washington and California also pass similar legislation. The bill's advancement comes after years of debate over the biannual time changes, with the goal of aligning Oregon's time policy with its neighboring states to avoid complications in cross-border activities. The bill now moves to the Oregon House for further consideration. If passed, Oregon would join a growing list of states looking to either permanently adopt Daylight Saving Time or standard time, reflecting a broader national conversation on the relevance and impact of time changes.
