Californians would be asked in a November ballot measure whether to end the biannual practice of moving their clocks ahead and back to comply with the Daylight Saving Time Act, under a bill the Assembly approved Thursday and sent to Gov. Jerry Brown for consideration.
“This bill creates a pathway for California to stay on daylight saving time year-round,” Assemblyman Kansen Chu (D-San Jose) told his colleagues before they voted 63-4 to approve his bill.
"AB 807 is aimed to dramatically improve public health,” Chu said. “Studies have shown that when we switch our clocks, that action alone increases the chances for heart attacks, workplace injuries, crime and traffic accidents.”

California gets on correct.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Yes, because it will combat Global Warming!
This is probably the only sane thing that California has done in decades. I support the idea of the entire country adopting Daylight Saving time all year and adopting it as the National Standard time.
on should be one
But if this happens, then California is out of step with the rest of the country.
I just saw a Unicorn...
One of the few things I agree with coming from California...
Not so. Arizona has been this way for a long time.
Yes
It is more important and urgent that we vote in a new governor.
And as much as I hate the time change of having shorter days, what other way will we have to indicate that it’s winter?
I don’t think Hawaii observes daylight savings, but that’s a little different being several time zones away to start with.
And no bordering states
This is so stupid. Why not set the clock ahead a day, a month, a year? Think of the health benefits.
Finally got something right going for them. I hate DST esp. when some states use it and some don’t.
And Hawaii being near the equator they hardly have any change in daylight.
Pretty sure AZ observes standard time, not daylight savings time.
Yeah, but the sun will be in the wrong place in the sky when the clock says 12 noon.
Celestial mechanics shall change not at all.
Muy estúpido, campesino.
I support the idea of the entire country adopting Daylight Saving time
