RCW 1.20.052 Permanent daylight saving time—Intent. (Contingent repeal.)

Under federal law as it exists on July 28, 2019, states are not permitted to observe daylight saving time year-round. If the United States congress amends federal law to authorize states to observe daylight saving time year-round, the legislature intends that Washington state make daylight saving time the permanent time of the state and all of its political subdivisions.

[ 2019 c 297 § 1.]
