Relating to daylight saving time.
HB 1736 exempts Texas from the federal Uniform Time Act of 1966, removing the requirement to observe daylight saving time (DST) changes. The bill applies to all parts of Texas, including areas using Central Standard Time and Mountain Standard Time. This change would allow Texas to remain on permanent standard time without switching clocks, effective November 3, 2025. The bill is procedural and does not create new regulations but modifies the state's compliance with federal time laws.
