For the part of the state located in the Pacific Time Zone, abolishes the annual one-hour change in time from standard time to daylight saving time and maintains the Pacific Time Zone portion of Oregon on standard time for all 12 months of the calendar year, if California and Washington make the same change within the next 10 years.

Alternatively, for the part of the state located in the Pacific Time Zone, abolishes the annual one-hour change in time and maintains the Pacific Time Zone portion of Oregon on daylight saving time for all 12 months of the calendar year, if Congress enacts a law authorizing states to elect year-round daylight saving time and if California and Washington establish daylight saving time as the standard of time year-round. Restores current time standards if Congress fails to authorize daylight saving time or if California and Washington do not make daylight saving time their year-round standard of time within 10 years.
