Californians will keep daylight saving time, for now anyway. Assemblyman Kansen Chu was efforting legislation to adopt a permanent Daylight saving time, but has ended his pitch for it, shelving the issue that would have been up for a vote in the next election. Chu won't be stopped entirely though, and plans to move forward with the measure again when the Legislature returns in January. Assembly Bill 807, if it's passed with a 2/3's vote, would enable Golden State residents to either adjust the dates for the beginning and ending of daylight saving time, or extend it year round.
