ACCESSIBILITYDidn't Oregon pass a law about daylight saving time? You still need to 'fall back' Sunday

EUGENE, Ore. - Oregon lawmakers passed a bill in June 2019 to keep Oregon on daylight saving time all year.

The governor signed it into law a week later.

But you'll still need to set your clock back an hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2020.

And then we'll "spring forward" again at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 14, 2021 - for what could be the last time.

Senate Bill 320, which would keep most of Oregon on daylight saving time year-round, took effect January 1, 2020.

The bill would keep Oregon on daylight saving time and skip "falling back" in November. The portion of Oregon on Mountain Time - cities like Ontario and Jordan Valley - would be exempt.

So why are we falling back this week?

Oregon lawmakers said the change takes effect the first November after both Washington and California adopt year-round daylight saving time.

Washington lawmakers passed legislation to do so, and California voters cast ballots directing lawmakers there to do the same. But the bill stalled in the state senate; and California lawmakers again didn't pass a bill in 2020.

All three states also face one final hurdle: Congress needs to sign off on the deal.

And as you may have noticed, daylight saving time hassn't exactly been at the top of the agenda in Washington, D.C., this year - although the senators from Florida did introduce a bill to keep the country on daylight saving time through 2021.

So stay tuned: Oregon lawmakers built a 2029 deadline into the law, so there's still time to change daylight saving time.
