That is certainly the goal for Assemblyman Kansen Chu. The San Jose Democrat's efforts to abolish the time change failed last year in the Senate, but that is not deterring Chu.  His 2017 bill seeks to put issue on the ballot.

If Chu's bill is passed and signed by Governor Brown the repeal effort would then be up to lawmakers, as they see fit.
