HB 1733 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to daylight saving time.

HB 1733 amends Texas law to claim the state's exemption from federal daylight saving time rules under the Uniform Time Act of 1966. The bill adds a provision stating Texas (including both central and mountain time zones) is exempt from the federal law that mandates seasonal time changes. This exemption would allow Texas to potentially maintain a fixed time year-round, though the bill itself does not change current time practices. The bill takes effect November 3, 2025, aligning with the end of daylight saving time that year.
