We need your help in advancing SB-1413 (Niello) and AB-1776 (Ta), California’s companion bills to ditch Daylight Saving Time (fast time) and restore permanent Standard Time (natural time).
This policy is pre-approved by federal law, it is widely endorsed by nonprofits for health, safety, and education, and it is shown by history to have the longest lasting popularity. Nearly everyone wants to end clock change, and these bills can do so by the end of 2024. Arizona has already done this, Mexico has recently done this, and every state will soon follow when California does this. These two bills are our most important of the year. Any of the below actions help!
