Relating to daylight saving time.

HB 788 would require Texas to observe daylight saving time year-round, affecting all residents across both central and mountain time zones in the state. The bill amends state law to mandate year-round DST starting September 1, 2025, replacing the current system of switching between standard and daylight saving time. A key provision states that the law takes effect immediately if federal legislation authorizes Texas to implement year-round DST, otherwise it remains in force until such federal authorization is obtained. This change would eliminate the biannual time changes for all Texans.
