"Abolishing" DST means that there's no longer any PDT, just PST, MST, CST, EST... But abolishing DST while desiring to move to "summer time" just means, in practice, shifting the state from PST to MST.

I’m not a lawyer, but from my reading of the respective regulations and the little case law that exists, I believe California has the legal authority to elect to move to Mountain time.

This is what Arizona did. They just went to MST. If California likes PDT, then MST is the exact same thing.

Wouldn't it be PT then?

Also why not just move to one zone west. POE Pacific ocean east time.
