Did California get rid of daylight savings?
First off, the 2018 ballot measure gave California’s Legislature permission to end the clock-changing, but didn’t actually end it. (As a refresher: Each year, we spend four months in standard time and eight months, between March and November, one hour ahead in daylight saving time.)
Did the time used to change in October?
The provisions of the bill called for Daylight Saving Time to begin three weeks earlier on the second Sunday in March and end one week later on the first Sunday in November. Previously, Daylight Saving Time started on the first Sunday in April and ended on the last Sunday in October.
Does California change clocks this year?
