Texas may vote on daylight saving time change
wfaa.com —
Texas State Senator Paul Bettencourt has introduced legislation allowing Texans to vote on whether to keep standard time or switch to daylight saving time. This proposal aims to address concerns about the biannual time change. Senate Bill 2029 and Senate Joint Resolution 67 would enable a statewide referendum on November 4, 2025. If approved, Texans could choose their preferred time system. However, any permanent switch to daylight saving time would require congressional approval. The legislation is currently in committee, with no hearings scheduled yet.
