So it seems like the vote is going forward and will happen in November? And if it get permanent DST, then I would assume it mean the entire California will be in same timezone as most of Arizona?
There will be a vote, but it won't do anything by itself. All it will do is allow the legislature to pass a law to not have DST, which alone would merely revert the state to PST all year. Quite possibly the legislature will also want to follow the lead of Florida and shift time zones; however, this is not a done deal, and the Florida move is still awaiting Congressional approval which may or may not happen. Joe Mathews of Zócalo Public Square suggested that if the measure passes, the legislature should split California into three time zones: one PST, one MST, and one PST/PDT (i.e., with DST).
