Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing a statewide referendum allowing voters to indicate a preference for observing standard time year-round or observing daylight saving time year-round.

HJR 51 proposes a constitutional amendment allowing Texas voters to choose between observing standard time year-round or daylight saving time year-round through a statewide referendum. If approved by voters in November 2025, the legislature would then pass a law implementing the majority preference. The bill directly affects all Texas voters who participate in the 2025 referendum and the state legislature, which would enact the chosen time standard. This would change Texas' time observance policy without altering current federal time zone rules.
